On (b)(6) 2023, a representative for (b)(6) in kuwait reported discordant testing results between different testing methods for a plasma sample from a blood donor.Testing results are as follows: (b)(6) 2023: roche cobas hbv reactive, additional details pending.(b)(6) 2023: ultrio elite screening nr; s/co 0.10; rlu 10,515 with ml 704982.Serology was completed around the same time, but exact dates are pending: hbsag: negative.Anti-hbc: positive.The site noted that this is a known donor who was tested 6 or 7 months ago and was positive for anti-hbc and hbv nat at that time.Grifols has requested additional details re: which nat testing was performed at that time and the testing dates.The donation and donor have been blocked.The customer has 2ml of sample available for investigational testing at grifols.Grifols is currently arranging shipment of the material to grifols san diego for hbv quantitative testing.Delivery date of sample is pending.The customer provided the ultrio elite screening worklist.The calibrator and ic values look consistent and in the expected range for each target.There is no indication that there was any run performance issue that caused the nr result for the sample in question and there were no instrument errors.The run reports for the non-grifols testing have been requested and receipt at grifols is pending.Serology results were reviewed and evaluated against the cdc interpretation of hbv serology result guidance.Based on the results available, the serology testing indicates that the donor either has a resolved infection, an occult infection, a false positive anti-hbc result (unlikely when taken in conjunction with the roche reactive result), or a mutant hbsag strain that is not detectable by laboratory assay.A resolved or occult infection would likely result in a low titer sample that is below the limit of detection of the ultrio elite assay.The actual concentration of the sample will be tested as part of the grifols complaint investigation.A review of the device history record (dhr) for ml 704982 was completed.The were no laboratory investigations for hbv sensitivity testing results initiated during qc release testing and there were no retests triggered by initially failing results for sensitivity testing.The following hbv qc panels are tested using the ultrio elite screening and dhbv assays as part of sensitivity testing for qc release of ultrio elite master lots: hbv a at ~11 iu/ml and hbv a at ~4 iu/ml.The hbv panels passed all sensitivity specification criteria.The complaints previous events search and dhr review indicate the assay is working as designed.An update will be provided after completion of hbv quantitation testing for the donation sample.
