Manufacturer Narrative

(b)(4).The access progesterone reagent was not returned for evaluation.No hardware errors or issues with other assays were reported in conjunction with this event.System performance indicators such as system check, calibration and quality control were passing within specifications at the time of the event.Additional data provided by customer included a 15-replicate progesterone precision study was performed using low level quality control; the precision study recovered within specifications.There is sufficient evidence to suggest imprecision, a malfunction, occurred in this event as three replicates outside the expected assay precision were generated for one sample on the same device.An assignable cause of the imprecision malfunction cannot be determined with the available information.Available system performance indicators of passing system check, quality control, and precision study did not demonstrate an issue with the system.The customer reported samples were collected in serum separator tubes with gel.The access progesterone reagent instructions for use (document (b)(4), available on the beckman coulter website) specimen section states, ¿serum is the recommended sample.To avoid time related absorption, specimens should not be stored in collection vials with gel separators.¿ although the customer collected the samples in tubes containing gel, use error cannot be confirmed as the customer did not acknowledge the samples were stored in tubes with gel.In conclusion, the cause of the imprecision observed in this event cannot be determined with the available information.
