The customer reported that a lower than expected vitros ckmb result was obtained from one proficiency sample when tested on a vitros 5,1fs chemistry system using vitros ckmb microslide reagent.Sample cm-01 vitros ckmb result: 15.00 u/l vs.Expected 21.36 u/l.Biased results of the direction and magnitude observed may lead to inappropriate physician action.No patient samples were affected; however, the investigation cannot conclude that patient sample results would not be affected if the event were to recur undetected.There was no allegation of patient harm as a result of this event.(b)(4).

The investigation determined that a lower than expected vitros ckmb result was obtained from one proficiency sample when tested on a vitros 5,1fs chemistry system using vitros ckmb microslide reagent.The definitive assignable cause could not be determined.The investigation found that a potential vitros ckmb reagent issue and/or improper pre-analytical sample handling (sample stored past the sample stability recommendations) cannot be ruled out as contributing factors.The investigation demonstrated that the vitros 5,1chemistry system was operating as expected at the time of the event.
