Event Description
|
We received an allegation of questionable results for 20 patients' samples tested with the hba1c assay on cobas pro 1 c503 analytical unit serial number (b)(4) compared to pro 2 serial number (b)(4).On (b)(6) 2023 the customer ran the patients' samples on cobas pro 1.On (b)(6) 2023 the patients' samples were rerun on cobas pro 2.Then later that day the customer changed the probe and reran the patients' samples on cobas pro 1.Refer to the attached patients' data.The results were reported outside the laboratory and the customer is in the process of correcting them after they got repeated.The repeat results deemed to be correct.The customer stated that cobas pro 1 was calibrated on 9-feb-2023 but when they loaded a new pack, the calibration reverted to the lot calibration performed on 27-jan-2023.The customer also stated that they noticed a lot of build up on the sample probe.

The customer alleged a new event occured on 2-mar-23 and the qc was out of range.The field service engineer (fse) visited the site again and found that the customer had a bad lot calibration.The fse stated that the customer replaced the reagent pack forcing a new lot calibration.Calibration and qc were performed and they were acceptable.The action of replacing the reagent pack and forcing a new lot calibration resolved the issue.
