This event did not occur in the usa.We are submitting this report as the event occurred at a healthcare facility in denmark on a
device that is similar to a device also marketed in the usa.On the 6th of october 2022, a customer reported to tbs that on the 5th of october 2022, a falsely low serum free light chain
value (<0.63 mg/l) was obtained using optilite® freelite® kappa free kit - lk016.10.Opt lot 509854.The customer also
reported on the 6th of october that the sample was re-run which gave a value of >70g/l, see section b6.The customer report
was followed up by the binding site to determine if there was an impact on the patient and on the 7th of october 2022, the
customer indicated that there was a 1-day delay in treating the patient.There is no direct indication of patient harm at this time.The binding site's review of the customer's instrument database received on the 7th october 2022 indicated the sample
presented a result <0.63mg/l.The initial data from the error report would suggest that the kappa flc result on the 5th of october
2022 was in undetected agxs.Which led to a falsely low result being reported, in addition the k/l ratio was reported as
abnormally low.Please note, this incident occurred on lk016.10.Opt lot 509854, which is not registered or sold in the usa.We are reporting
because of the similar devices for use on the optilite analyser, which are registered and sold in the usa : lk016.Opt.A,
lk016.10.Opt.A, lk016.M.Opt.A
