    Additional Manufacturer Narrative · 1

    SIEMENS HEALTHCARE DIAGNOSTICS HAS CONFIRMED COMPLAINTS REGARDING QUALITY CONTROL (QC) SHIFTS WITH PSEUDOCHOLINESTERASE (PCHE) AND IMPRECISION DURING PCHE CALIBRATION WITH DIMENSION VISTA® ENZYME 1 CALIBRATOR (ENZ 1 CAL) LOTS 3FD034 AND 3HD012. INVESTIGATION BY SIEMENS CONFIRMS A LOSS OF PCHE ACTIVITY IN THE AFFECTED LOTS OF ENZYME 1 CALIBRATOR, CAUSING AN ELEVATION OF QC BY AS MUCH AS 80% AND IN SOME INSTANCES, IMPRECISION OF REPLICATES DURING CALIBRATION. QC WILL DETECT ELEVATED PCHE RESULTS FOLLOWING CALIBRATION, AND IN THESE CASES NO PATIENT RESULTS WILL BE REPORTED. SIEMENS ISSUED AN URGENT MEDICAL DEVICE CORRECTION COMMUNICATION 14-01 TO CUSTOMERS WHO HAD ORDERED THESE LOTS ADVISING THEM TO DISCONTINUE THE USE OF LOTS 3FD034 AND 3HD012 TO CALIBRATE PCHE. DIMENSION VISTA® ENZ 1 CAL (CATALOG # KC310) LOTS 3FD034 AND 3HD012 CAN BE USED TO CALIBRATE THE OTHER ANALYTES LISTED IN THE IFU: AMYLASE (AMY), GAMMA-GLUTAMYL TRANSFERASE (GGT), LACTATE DEHYDROGENASE (LDH), AND LIPASE (LIPL). SIEMENS HAS CONFIRMED ACCEPTABLE PERFORMANCE OF THESE ENZYMES WITH LOTS 3FD034 AND 3HD012. THE CUSTOMER WAS ABLE TO USE AN ALTERNATE DIMENSION VISTA INSTRUMENT WHICH WAS CALIBRATED WITH A NON-IMPACTED LOT OF ENZ 1 CALIBRATOR TO CONTINUE TO REPORT PCHE RESULTS.
