Manufacturer Narrative

The meter was received for investigation.Sections d9 and h3 were updated.The returned meter was tested using retention strips and retention controls.Level 1 testing results (qc range = 1.0 - 1.4 inr): qc 1: 1.2 inr.Level 2 testing results (qc range = 2.4 - 3.6 inr): qc 2: 2.8 inr.The obtained qc values were in the allowed range of the used combination strip lot - qc lot.All measurements were without error messages.The alleged result of 1.6 inr on (b)(6) 2023 was not observed in the meter's patient result memory.The patient alleged receiving an error 5 on (b)(6) 2023 before the result of 1.6 inr.A review of the error log showed that error 5 occurred on (b)(6) 2023.Error 5 occurs when the applied sample volume is insufficient or when sample detection is uncertain.Generally, this is caused by wrong handling, or by meter contamination.A review of the meter error log showed that the only error to have occurred on (b)(6) 2023 was error 6 which occurs as a result of the on/off-button having been pressed during a measurement.Examination of the heater plate of the meter also revealed heavy contamination due to customer mishandling.On a regular basis, coaguchek strips of lots currently valid in the market are tested as part of routine retention testing and results have passed the internal inspection.The returned material and the retention material meet the specifications.The investigation did not identify a product problem.
