Manufacturer Narrative

Beckman coulter complaint handling unit reviewed the available information and assessed the event.Aacc (american association for clinical chemistry) effects on clinical laboratory tests website and young¿s effects of drugs on clinical laboratory tests 5th edition were reviewed to assess interference due to medications.Amphotericin b is not listed as a known drug interference.However, in 2017 there was an article in clinical biochemistry regarding amphotericin b interference with the au inorganic phosphorus assay on the au680 and au5800 analyzer.The article mentioned the use of amphotericin b caused pseudohypophosphatemia with the au phosphorus method.The customer information and clinical biochemistry article were reviewed by au product sme, dr (b)(6).The data generated during the study in 2017 conclusively demonstrate the impact of amphotericin b liposomal on the recovery of inorganic phosphorus results.The authors of clin.Biochem.50 (2017)967-971 have shown it to be an optical interference due to the bright yellow colour of amphotericin b with both lambda 1 (340nm) and 2 (380 nm) of the au test method.The interference with lambda 2 was bigger so that a larger od was subtracted from lambda 1 and the resulting test absorbance/test concentration was smaller.The reaction monitors from the customer account (provided on 01-apr-2020) show a similar pattern.The customer used inorganic phosphorus, catalog number osr6222.This drug interference is not lot specific and would affect all lot of inorganic phosphorus osr6x22.Age, weight, and ethnicity: information not provided by customer.The beckman coulter internal identifier is (b)(4).

Event Description

On 28-february-2020, the customer reported the generation of false low phosphorus result for one (1) patient on the au5800 clinical chemistry analyzer.The doctor questioned the patient results as they did not match the patient clinical presentation.The patient had been treated with an iv administration of amphotericin b liposomal at 65 mg administered over 120 mins prior to the blood draw.Liposomal amphotericin-b (l-amb) is a formulation of amphotericin b that has been embedded in a unilamellar phospholipid bilayer.This specific formulation is less toxic and has been approved for invasive aspergillus, candida, and cryptococcus infections at dosages from 3 to 6 mg/kg/day.On 01-april-2020, the customer notified beckman coulter that the patient was administered potassium phosphate to remediate the ¿low¿ phosphorus levels.A selection of samples from the same patient were sent to another laboratory to confirm the results.The samples were tested using the abbott architect and some results were found discrepant.The variability in results may be explained by the administration of potassium phosphate to remediate the ¿low¿ phosphorus levels.
