H.6 investigation summary: inv-22-plc-365.The complaint concerns two samples, positive for the chlamydia (ct) target with bd max¿ ct/gc/tv (ref#(b)(4) kit lot 2137538, that gave discrepant negative results upon repeat test performed with re-collected specimens.Complaint history review showed no other complaint received on bd max¿ ct/gc/tv kit lot 2137538.In the last twelve months, five other complaints were received regarding discrepant or false positive results with bd max¿ ct/gc/tv.Various potential root causes were identified such as sample contamination and samples at assay limit of detection (lod).Based on the complaint review, no reagents issue was identified.No anomaly was observed, in bhr review of bd max¿ ct/gc/tv kit lot 2137538 which could have a link with the customer issue.Also, the kit met the release specifications and qc results were within the trends.Retain material was not tested since it would not provide more information than what is available from the final qc test.A gross product contamination would have been detected by the final qc test, which is not the case.No sample was received for investigation.The customer is questioning positive results for the chlamydia (ct) target with bd max¿ ct/gc/tv kit lot 2137538, and has identified samples 0193 in position b11 (run 2626) and sample 0225 in position a3 (run 2631) as suspected discrepant results.According to the complaint text, these two samples repeated negative on the bd max¿ from a recollected specimen (run 2631 sample b9 and run 2637 sample b12).Manual pcr curve adjudication of samples b11 (run 2626) and a3 (run 2631) revealed late, but true amplification curve in the fam channel (ct target).Late positive samples can occur due to viral titers in the specimen being at or near the limit of detection of the assay or through environmental or cross contamination introduced during the sample preparation at the customer¿s site.Repeat tests sample b9 (run 2631) and sample b12 (run 2637) pcr curves analysis, revealed no amplification curve in the fam channel (ct target) for neither of the samples.Based on the data and information provided, specimens at or near the assay limit of detection (lod), or environmental or cross contamination, are the most likely causes to explain the customer¿s positive results.However, bd is unable to confirm the exact cause of the issue.Nonetheless, no reagents issue is suspected.
