The customer reports that on (b)(6) 2016, the assay file for the restandardised architect (b)(6) assay (assay number 183) was loaded onto the architect i2000sr analyzer in order to perform a comparative study with the former assay (assay number 131) before placing it into routine use.The customer then planned to continue using assay number 131 until the study was complete.At some point, the customer noticed that the interpretation rules for assay number 131 had changed.The following was provided by the customer: former rules: negative = less than 10 miu/ml; reactive/equivocal = 10 - 100 miu/ml; and, high reactive = greater than 100 miu/ml.After installation of the new assay file: negative = less than 10 miu/ml; reactive/equivocal = 10 - 1000 miu/ml; and, high reactive = greater than 1000 miu/ml.Patient results were being reported based on the interpretation rules in the new assay file for assay number 131 and as a consequence 45 patient results were released with the incorrect interpretation.Of these 45, six received unnecessary vaccinations.No individual specific patient data / information is available.There have been no serious injuries reported due to this issue.The customer states that no one in the lab edited the assay files for assay number 131.Abbott registration could not find any similar customer calls for this issue and has requested that the customer send the error log and assay parameter log for review.
