Manufacturer Narrative

Siemens healthcare diagnostics has confirmed that biotin interferes with the ca-125 (om-ma) assay on the immulite 2000/immulite 2000 xpi platform.At biotin concentrations of >5 ng/ml a positive bias that exceeds 10% has been observed on immulite 2000/immulite 2000 xpi platforms.This issue affects previously manufactured, in-date, and future lots.The immulite platform instructions for use (ifu's) currently do not have biotin listed as a potential interferent.An urgent field safety notice (ufsn) imc 18-02.A.Ous was sent out to ous customers and an urgent medical device recall (umdr) imc18-02.A.Us was sent to u.S customers on december 13, 2017.The ufsn and umdr informs the customers of biotin interference on all affected immulite assays.Siemens will update all ifu's with the appropriate biotin information.

Event Description
|
Siemens technical operations internal investigation has identified that discordant falsely high results were obtained on two investigational samples on an immulite 2000/ immulite 2000 xpi instrument when using the om-ma (ca 125) assay.Two investigational samples were spiked with biotin at multiple concentrations, and run for investigational purposes on an immulite 2000/immulite 2000 xpi instrument.The results of the two samples spiked with 75 ng/ml and 250 ng/ml of biotin were falsely high with a bias of +41% and +38% respectively compared to results of the two samples without biotin.There were no patient samples impacted as this was for investigational purposes only.
