The investigation determined that false negative vitros anti-hiv 1 & 2 (ahiv1+2) results were obtained from two different lots of vitros ahiv1+2 reagent when testing using a non-vitros biorad quality control (qc) fluid on two different vitros 5600 integrated systems.A definitive assignable cause could not be determined with the information provided.No information was provided on pre analytical qc fluid handling, therefore, it is possible improper handling of the vitros ahiv1+2 qc samples during testing events contributed to the discordant, reactive vitros ahiv1+2 results, although this cannot be confirmed.In addition, pre-analytical sample mix up is a potential contributor as the customer had 5 different virotrol qc fluids for various assays.The unacceptable results obtained using vitros ahiv1+2 reagent lot 1100 occurred on only one of the two vitros analyzers.The overall qc performance obtained around the time of the event using vitros ahiv1+2 reagent lot 1100 was acceptable on both vitros analyzers with the exception of the three false negative results.Continual tracking and trending of complaints has not identified any signals that would point to a potential systemic issue with vitros ahiv1+2 lot 1100.The unacceptable qc results obtained using vitros ahiv1+2 reagent lot 1110 occurred on both vitros analyzers and was consistent from the time the lot was calibrated.Continual tracking and trending of complaints has not identified any signals that would point to a potential systemic issue with vitros ahiv1+2 lot 1100.The customer declined further investigation as they were taking the vitros 5600 analyzers out of service and installing new vitros xt 7600 analyzer.The customer planned to discontinue using the vitros ahiv1+2 assay and move to the vitros hiv combo assay on the new analyzers.Therefore, the assignable cause could not be determined.An ortho field engineer did perform service actions to the subsystems that process microwell testing on both vitros analyzers.However, an instrument performance issue could not be confirmed or ruled out as a potential contributor to the event as no diagnostic within run precision testing was performed prior to service actions and unacceptable qc was obtained following service actions.
