The investigation determined that lower than expected vitros intact pth (ipth) results were obtained when a non-vitros thermofisher mas omni immune quality control (qc) fluid was tested on two vitros xt 7600 integrated systems.A definitive assignable cause for the discordant lower than expected vitros ipth results could not be determined with the information provided.Based on no historical quality control results performed for vitros ipth lot 1750, a reagent issue cannot be completely ruled out as a contributor to the event as the customer does not run daily quality control.The customer gave no indication of any instrument malfunction, and an unexpected instrument performance is not a likely contributor to the event.However, instrument j1 results were similar to instrument j2 results, therefore, while an instrument performance issue cannot be entirely ruled out, it is an unlikely contributor to the event.The customer did not perform any precision testing on the instruments at the time of the events; so, no assessment of the instrument performance at the time of the events was made.Therefore, it cannot be confirmed if the instruments were performing as intended and unexpected instrument performance cannot be completely ruled out as contributing to the events.Continual tracking and trending of complaints has not identified any signals that would indicate a potential systematic issue with vitros ipth reagent lot 1750.
