H.6.Investigation summary: the complaint investigation for discrepant results when using the bd max¿ mrsa xt kit (ref.443461) from lot: 3265828 was performed by the review of manufacturing records, review of customer¿s data, retain material testing and by the complaint¿s history review.Customer complained about discrepant results when using bd max¿ mrsa xt kit from lot: 3265828 versus culture and hain bruker¿s fluorotype mrsa testing.Review of the manufacturing records of bd max¿ mrsa xt kit indicated that lot: 3265828 was manufactured according to specifications and met performance requirements.The retain material of bd max¿ mrsa xt kit from lot: 3265828 was tested and the results met the specifications.Database of bd max¿ instrument ct3017 was received, for investigation.Runs were analyzed and manual pcr curve adjudication was conducted across the samples identified by the customer (run 186; position a7 and a9, 191; a1, 195; a2 and a3).Analysis revealed that all the affected samples were negative for the mrej target (fam channel) but positive for the meca/c (resistance gene) target (rox channel).No anomaly was observed in the curves and results appear to be true negative results.Based on the culture results reported and hain broker testing results, the customer¿s samples appear to be true mrsa strains.As mentioned in the package insert p0205, the bd max¿ mrsa xt assay is designed to detect mrej genotypes i, ii, iii, iv, v, vi, vii, ix, xiii, xiv, and xxi which represent most of meca and mecc harboring mrsa strains (belonging to different sccmec/mrej types) accounting for more than 98% of worldwide strains tested by bd to date.However, it must be noted that sscmec typing and mrej typing are different typing methods, without any link between them.The investigation suggests that the customer strain may have been undetected by the bd max¿ mrsa xt assay.Without analysis of the customer strain, bd was unable to confirm the customer issue.There is no indication of a reagent issue based on the analysis of the complaints received for discrepant results on the bd max¿ mrsa xt assay from lot 3265828.The root cause was not identified.Bd acknowledge the customer issue but cannot confirm the complaint based on the investigation that was performed.Bd did not initiate a corrective and preventive action since no new hazard or trends was identified.Bd quality will continue to monitor for trends.
