Initial mdr 1219913-2023-00024 was filed on feb 01, 2023 reporting a customer from outside the united states obtained a positive (reactive) advia centaur xpt anti-hbs2 (ahbs2) result for one patient which was discordant relative to repeat test results and clinical indications.Additional laboratory testing of the sample produced a negative result for hepatitis b antibody, which was accepted as correct.Additional information - feb 24, 2023.Siemens investigated the customer complaint for advia centaur xpt hepatitis b surface antibody (ahbs2) false positive result on a single patient sample.Two different sample existed for this patient where one sample resulted positive and the other resulted negative.Both samples were repeated on same advia centaur xpt, and both resulted negative.Sample were previously frozen, thawed and centrifuged before repeat.The customer was unable to provide any additional information regarding patient history or list of medications.The ahbs2 quality control (qc) testing on the day of the initial testing was within the range.Siemens performed a search in complaint database and found no related complaints from other customer sites.Related additional hepatitis testing was completed and was negative.Based on the result of the alternate patient sample, siemens cannot rule out pre-analytical factors or a sample specific interferent in the first sample as the cause of the initial reactive testing on (b)(6) 2023.The clinical sensitivity and specificity section of the advia centaur xp/xpt anti-hbs2 instructions for use (ifu) (10629819) lists the 95% confidence interval (ci) for resolved relative specificity as 98.34% - 99.88% so a certain number of false positive results can be expected for this assay.The assay is performing as expected and within specifications.Results of this assay should always be interpreted in conjunction with the patient's medical history, clinical presentation, and other findings.Based on the investigation, no potential product issue is observed.The customer is operational.In section h6, the investigation finding, and investigation conclusion codes were updated.
