    Description of Event or Problem · 1

    THE CUSTOMER STATED THAT A PATIENT RECEIVED ERRONEOUS RESULTS WHEN TESTING WITH THE PATIENT'S COAGUCHEK INRANGE METER SERIAL NUMBER (B)(4). THE TIME FRAME BETWEEN ALL MEASUREMENTS IS UNKNOWN. THIS MEDWATCH WILL APPLY TO TEST STRIP LOT NUMBER 29778816. PLEASE REFER TO THE MEDWATCH WITH PATIENT IDENTIFIER (B)(6) FOR INFORMATION RELATED TO TEST STRIP LOT NUMBER 244033. A SAMPLE FROM THE PATIENT WAS TESTED ON THE METER USING TEST STRIP LOT NUMBER 29778816, RESULTING WITH A VALUE OF 4.5 INR. AT AN UNKNOWN TIME, A SAMPLE FROM THE PATIENT WAS TESTED IN THE LABORATORY USING AN UNKNOWN METHOD, RESULTING AS 3.55 INR. AT A LATER UNKNOWN TIME, A SAMPLE FROM THE PATIENT WAS TESTED ON THE METER USING TEST STRIP LOT NUMBER 29778816, RESULTING WITH A VALUE OF 7.9 INR. AT AN UNKNOWN TIME, A SAMPLE FROM THE PATIENT WAS TESTED IN THE LABORATORY USING AN UNKNOWN METHOD, RESULTING AS 4.6 INR. AT A LATER UNKNOWN TIME, A SAMPLE FROM THE PATIENT WAS TESTED ON THE METER USING TEST STRIP LOT NUMBER 29778816, RESULTING WITH A VALUE OF > 8 INR. AT AN UNKNOWN TIME, A SAMPLE FROM THE PATIENT WAS TESTED ON THE METER USING TEST STRIP LOT NUMBER 244033, RESULTING AS 6.6 INR. NO ADVERSE EVENTS WERE ALLEGED TO HAVE OCCURRED WITH THE PATIENT. THE PATIENT'S PRODUCT WAS REQUESTED FOR INVESTIGATION. RELEVANT RETENTION TEST STRIPS (LOT 297788) WERE TESTED IN COMPARISON WITH THE MASTER LOT. FOR THIS PURPOSE TWO HUMAN BLOOD SAMPLES FROM MARCUMAR DONORS AND TWO INTERNAL REFERENCE METERS WERE USED. RETENTION SAMPLES WERE ACCEPTABLE. NO ERROR MESSAGES OCCURRED. EXTENSIVE MEASUREMENTS HAVE SHOWN HIGHER DEVIATIONS FOR COAGUCHEK VALUES > 4.5 INR COMPARED TO A LABORATORY METHOD. THEREFORE, THE CUSTOMER ALLEGATION HAS BEEN SUBSTANTIATED. A PRODUCT PROBLEM HAS BEEN FOUND FOR COAGUCHEK VALUES > 4.5 INR, WHICH WAS THE CASE IN THIS COMPLAINT. THIS CAN BE TRACED BACK TO THE CALIBRATION OF THE COMPLAINED TEST STRIPS TO THE WHO STANDARD RTF/16. FOR MEASUREMENTS > 4.5 INR. THE CUSTOMER IS ADVISED TO CONTACT THE PHYSICIAN AND PERFORM A MEASUREMENT WITH A LABORATORY METHOD. ROCHE DIAGNOSTICS HAS ISSUED A RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE.
