An agfa clinical analyst performed a retro-analysis and reported the findings to agfa svc and agfa product quality manager.Agfa's investigation into this occurrence of rmat customizations has revealed that this specific change had the potential to introduce clinical inaccuracies in pt reports.Specifically: the original sentence finding of "posterior wall hypertrophy is observed" has been changed to: "there is an asymmetric inferior wall hypertrophy of the left ventricle consistent with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy." in this issue, the original sentence describes hypertrophy of the posterior wall.The sentence was changed to indicate that the hypertrophy was of the inferior wall and was asymmetric, not the posterior wall as intended, and also includes a probable diagnosis of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy which the original sentence did not include.Potential impact: if the change was made after reports had been generated with the original sentence selected, those reports prior to the change could display incorrect clinical data if viewed in rm or if used as a template for a repeat study on that pt.As soon as afga is made aware of any affected reports related to this specific finding, f/u mdrs will be submitted for each associated study date and respective medical record number/s (mrn) identified.There has been no reported pt harm for this occurrence.A reportable correction is underway for this issue and has been reported to the fda via reference # z-2112-10.Agfa will follow the rmat post market verification work instructions to correct the sentence finding.Any further investigation for the site described in this report will be documented in the ongoing cfr part 806 reporting.
