Manufacturer Narrative

Calibration data was ok.Quality controls recovered within range.A general reagent issue can be ruled out since calibration and controls are acceptable.Upon review of the alarm trace, an abnormal aspiration alarm occurred on (b)(6)2023 and on (b)(6)2023.The field application specialist checked pre-analytic sample handling at the site.Precision studies were performed and did not show any abnormalities.An interference due to the drugs cetuximab and encorafenib is unlikely since interference would also be shown in the repeat results of the sample.The investigation did not identify a product issue.The issue is consistent with incorrect pre-analytic sample handling or a single pipetting error.
