Section d, device identification was updated.Relevant fields of sections d and g were updated.The igg-2 reagent lot number was 771598 with an expiration date of 30-nov-2025.The qc recovery showed imprecision.The measuring range for the urine application of igg-2 is 4.00 - 200 mg/l.Some of the comparison results were below the measuring range of the roche assay.The other comparison results were close to the lower end of the measuring range of the roche assay and could show higher imprecision.After the field service engineer (fse) replaced the gear pump head and adjusted the pressure, the issue improved at the customer site.The gear pump head had not been replaced since the instrument was installed in 2020.The specific cause of the event could not be determined, however, the investigation determined the event was consistent with a maintenance issue.
