The investigation determined that lower than expected vitros ammonia (amon) results were recovered from the calibrator level 2 from calibrator kit lot 0522, tested on a vitros xt7600 integrated system.The assignable cause of the event could not be determined with the information provided.A performance issue with the calibrator 0522 level 2 fluid on site cannot be ruled out as contributing to the event.The calibrator 0522 level 1 and level 3 results were acceptable, and acceptable vitros amon performance was obtained using an alternate vitros calibrator kit 5, lot 0532.Historic quality control results obtained from vitros amon slide lot 1020-0262-5572 was acceptable, indicating vitros amon slide lot 1020-0262-5572 was performing as intended within the timeframe of the event and did not likely contribute to the event.Continual tracking and trending of complaints has not identified any signals that would point to a potential systemic issue with vitros amon slide lot 1020-0262-5572.The customer made no indication of a performance issue with the vitros xt7600 integrated system during the timeframe of the event, however, as no diagnostic within-run precision testing used to assess the performance of the vitros instrument was performed, a performance issue with the vitros xt7600 integrated system cannot be completely ruled out as contributing to the event.
