Manufacturer Narrative

A customer from outside the united states reported observation of an elevated atellica im prostate-specific antigen (psa) result which was discordant relative to clinical expectation and duplicate repeat testing.No issues were identified with quality control or calibration for the assay, but associated data were not provided for review.Investigation included assessment of available reagent, instrument, and sample data.Reagent issues were ruled out as reproducible results meeting expectation were produced upon repeat testing using the same reagent pack.Instrument log data show no evidence of any hardware issues affecting delivery of any psa reagents, and no evidence of any sample probe issues during aspiration or dispense of the affected sample.Return of the patient sample for further investigation is not warranted because the discordant result was not reproducible.Based on the available information, the root cause cannot be definitively determined, but the issue appears to be an isolated case, and preanalytical variables (sample-quality issues) cannot be ruled out.No product problem was identified.The customer is operational, and no further action is required.
