    AN INTERNAL BIOMÉRIEUX INVESTIGATION WAS PERFORMED RELATED TO A UK NEQAS EXTERNAL QUALITY ASSESSMENT FOR VIDAS® VARICEL ZOSTER IGG. THE VARICEL ZOSTER IGG (VZG) RESULTS (CAMPAIGN IMMUNITY SCREEN DISTRIBUTION 4278 SPECIMEN 4372) INCLUDE: -93 PARTICIPANTS USING VIDAS VARICELLA-ZOSTER IGG REF.30217 WERE INVOLVED IN DISTRIBUTION 4278, SAMPLE 4372. THIS SAMPLE WAS INTENDED POSITIVE. -84 PARTICIPANTS (90.3%) REPORTED AN EQUIVOCAL RESULT FOR SAMPLE 4372. -SEVEN (7) PARTICIPANTS (7.5%) REPORTED A NEGATIVE RESULT FOR SAMPLE 4372. -ONE (1) PARTICIPANT REPORTED A POSITIVE RESULT FOR SAMPLE 4372. THESE PARTICIPANTS MENTIONED FIVE (5) DIFFERENT VIDAS VARICELLA -ZOSTER IGG BATCHES (LOT 1005849020/180501-0, LOT 1005930980/180607-0, LOT 1006015580/180724-0, LOT 1006046000/180806-0 AND LOT 1006161020/180926-0). INVESTIGATION RESULTS: BATCH HISTORY RECORDS- THERE IS NEITHER CAPA NOR NONCONFORMITY RECORDED ON VIDAS VARICELLA-ZOSTER IGG (REFERENCE 30217) LINKED TO THE UK NEQAS CUSTOMERS' ISSUE. THE ANALYSIS OF THE BATCH HISTORY RECORDS ON THE FIVE (5) BATCHES OF VIDAS VARICELLA-ZOSTER IGG MENTIONED, SHOWED NO ANOMALY DURING THE MANUFACTURING, CONTROL AND PACKAGING PROCESSES. COMPLAINT TRENDING ANALYSIS- THERE ARE NO OTHER COMPLAINTS RECORDED ON THE FIVE (5) VIDAS VARICELLA-ZOSTER IGG CONCERNED BATCHES LINKED WITH THIS ISSUE. STUDY OF INTERNAL SAMPLES CONTROL CHARTS- THIS ANALYSIS WAS CARRIED OUT ON FOUR (4) INTERNAL POSITIVE BATCHES AND ON NINE (9) BATCHES INCLUDING THE FIVE (5) BATCHES MENTIONED BY THE CUSTOMERS. ALL OF THE RESULTS WERE WITHIN SPECIFICATIONS, AND THE DIFFERENT LOTS MENTIONED BY THE CUSTOMERS WERE IN TREND OF OTHER LOTS. TESTS PERFORMED- -FOUR (4) INTERNAL POSITIVE SAMPLES WERE TESTED ON THE RETAINED KITS OF VIDAS VARICELLA-ZOSTER IGG BATCHES 1006015580/180724-0, LOT 1006046000/180806-0 AND LOT 1006161020/180926-0 (BATCHES 1005849020/180501-0 AND 1005930980/180607-0 WERE ALREADY EXPIRED). ALL OF THE SAMPLES WERE WITHIN THEIR ACCEPTABLE RANGE AND THERE WERE NO OBSERVATIONS OF ANY EVOLUTION ON THE CONCERNED BATCHES COMPARED TO THE RESULTS OBTAINED BEFORE THE BATCHES WERE RELEASED. -SPECIMEN 4372 WAS TESTED ON VIDAS VARICELLA-ZOSTER IGG 1006046000/180806-0 RETAINED KIT AND A NEGATIVE RESULT (0.58 TV) WAS OBTAINED. RESULTS ENCOUNTERED BY THE CUSTOMERS WERE REPRODUCED. TESTS PERFORMED BY INDUSTRIALIZATION DEPARTMENT- REGARDING ALL OF THE TESTS PERFORMED, NONE HIGHLIGHTED ANY INTERFERENCE AND THE CONCLUSION IS A LOWER SENSITIVITY OF VARICELLA-ZOSTER IGG DUE ITS FORMAT COMPARED TO OTHER METHODS. VIDAS VARICELLA-ZOSTER IGG IS A QUALITATIVE TEST IN CONTRARY OF THE OTHER METHODS. CONCLUSION: BIOMÉRIEUX REPRODUCED A NEGATIVE RESULT FOR THE QUALITY CONTROL SAMPLE 4372 USING THE VIDAS VARICELLA-ZOSTER IGG METHOD. BASED ON COMPLAINT RECORDS, THE CALCULATED SENSITIVITY FOR VIDAS VARICELLA ZOSTER IGG IS OVER 99.99% FOR THE FIVE (5) BATCHES MENTIONED. IN THE VIDAS VARICELLA ZOSTER IGG PACKAGE INSERT, THE SENSITIVITY CLAIMED IS BETWEEN 98.1 AND 99.7% DEPENDING ON THE STUDY. ACCORDING TO THIS DATA, THE FIVE (5) BATCHES OF VIDAS VARICELLA-ZOSTER IGG MENTIONED BY UK NEQAS CUSTOMERS ARE STILL WITHIN THEIR EXPECTED SPECIFICATIONS.
