    Additional Manufacturer Narrative · 1

    THE CUSTOMER DID NOT SUPPLY THE PATIENT 'S WEIGHT. A BECKMAN COULTER (BEC) FIELD SERVICE ENGINEER (FSE) WAS NOT DISPATCHED TO THE CUSTOMER'S SITE. THERE IS NO EVIDENCE THAT THE ACCESS ACCUTNI+3 REAGENT WAS RETURNED FOR EVALUATION. THE MARSEILLE COMPLAINT HANDLING UNIT (CHU) PERFORMED BOTH INTERFERENCE TESTING AND GEL FILTRATION CHROMATOGRAPHY (GFC) TESTING ON THE PATIENT'S SAMPLES. THE INTERFERENCE TESTING DID NOT DETECT EITHER A PATIENT SOURCE HETEROPHILIC OR ALKALINE PHOSPHATASE INTERFERENT IN THE PATIENT'S SAMPLES. GFC TESTING CONFIRMED THAT TROPONIN I WAS PRESENT IN THE PATIENT'S SAMPLES AND DID REACT ACCORDINGLY WITH THE ACCESS ACCUTNI+3 ASSAY. IN CONCLUSION, THE CAUSE OF THE EVENT CANNOT BE DETERMINED WITH THE AVAILABLE INFORMATION. (B)(4). ALL MDRS ASSOCIATED WITH THIS EVENT: MDR 2122870-2015-00404, MDR 2122870-2015-00405, MDR 2122870-2015-00406, MDR 2122870-2015-00407.
