The investigation determined that lower than expected, (b)(6) vitros hepatitis b surface antigen (hbsag) results were attained from a non-vitros biorad virotrol i (b)(6) control fluid using vitros immunodiagnostic products hbsag reagent lot 8561 on a vitros xt7600 integrated system.The assignable cause of the event was not established.An issue with the biorad virotrol i quality control fluid cannot be ruled out as a contributor to the event as there were no issues with vitros or other non-vitros quality control results when tested using vitros hbsag reagent lot 8561.Additionally, user error cannot be ruled out as a contributor to the event.It is possible that the customer was using an expired quality control fluid, not handling the quality control fluid correctly or not running the intended class of biorad quality control fluids although this could not be confirmed.The lower than expected vitros hbsag result of (b)(6) was likely due to fluid mix up, the fluid tested was most likely the biorad viroclear quality control fluid, however, this was not confirmed.An issue with vitros hbsag lot 8561 is an unlikely contributor to the event, as vitros hbsag quality control results for other fluids were within acceptable guidelines.Additionally, ongoing tracking and trending of complaint data has not identified any signals to suggest there is a systemic quality issue with vitros hbsag lot 8561.There was no evidence to suggest an instrument malfunction contributed to the event.However, as no precision testing was conducted on the vitros xt 7600 integrated system around the time of the event, an instrument issue cannot be entirely ruled out as a contributor to the event.
