The investigation determined that higher and lower than expected vitros intact pth (ipth) quality control (qc) results were obtained when using non-vitros biorad quality control (qc) fluid on a vitros xt 7600 integrated system.A definitive assignable cause for the higher and lower than expected vitros ipth results could not be determined.A historical review of qc results for the vitros ipth lot 1830 indicates acceptable reagent performance.Additionally, continual tracking and trending of complaints has not identified any signals that would indicate a potential systematic issue with vitros ipth reagent lots 1830.Based on the acceptable quality control results obtained from within run diagnostic precision testing using vitros tsh assay, an instrument related performance issue did not contribute to the event.No information was provided by the customer on how long the customer leaves the qc vials to reach room temperature or how long the qc vials had been opened.The biorad package insert states, once thawed, opened, and stored tightly capped at 2 to 8 degrees c, vitros ipth will be stable for seven (7) days.Therefore, it is possible qc sample handling and storage could be a contributor to this event.
