    Additional Manufacturer Narrative · 1

    THE ORIGINAL MDR 2432235-2014-00438 WAS FILED ON AUGUST 7, 2014. THE FIRST FOLLOW UP REPORT WAS FILED ON SEPTEMBER 3, 2014. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION (12/19/14): FINAL ROOT CAUSE: BIAS IN PATIENT SAMPLE AND (B)(4) SURVEY PERFORMANCE WAS NOT DETECTED DUE TO THE INSENSITIVITY IN THE CALIBRATOR AND REAGENT TESTING CONTROL SYSTEM. THE OVERALL CAPABILITY (ERROR BUDGET) OF A1C_3 METHOD WAS NOT SUFFICIENT TO CONSISTENTLY PROVIDE CLINICALLY ACCEPTABLE RESULTS ACROSS ALL REAGENT AND CALIBRATOR LOTS. A KEY COMPONENT OF THE ERROR BUDGET IS THE MANUFACTURING CONTROLS SYSTEM FOR ASSIGNMENT OF THE CALIBRATOR BOTTLE VALUES WHERE THE INACCURACY OF THIS PROCESS IS DUE TO LACK OF STATISTICAL POWER.
