AN INVESTIGATION HAS BEEN CONDUCTED BY ORGENICS WITH THE FOLLOWING ACTIVITIES AND RESULTS: THE ASSAY PERFORMANCE WAS ASSESSED BY TESTING A KIT LOT # 150512 FROM QC RETENTION. THE KIT PERFORMED ACCORDINGLY WITH QC SPECIFICATION. HISTORY RECORD OF RELEASE TESTING (QC) DATA AND BATCH RECORDS FOR LOT #150512 WERE REVIEWED. ALL QUALITY CONTROL RELEASE TESTING WAS VALID AND PERFORMED WITHIN SPECIFICATIONS WITH NO OBSERVED ANOMALIES NOTED BASED ON THE RESULTS OF THE INVESTIGATION A DEFINITIVE ROOT CAUSE OF THE COMPLAINT COULD NOT BE DETERMINED.
