Event Description

The customer complained of erroneous results for 1 patient sample tested for anti-ccp.The erroneous results were reported outside of the laboratory.The initial anti-ccp result was 38.82 u/ml.This result was reported outside of the laboratory.The sample was sent to 2 external laboratories where the result from a siemens immulite analyzer was 1.79 u/ml and the result from an abbott architect analyzer was 4.80 u/ml.The sample was also repeated on another e411 system where the result was 45.41 with a data flag.No adverse event was reported.The e411 system serial number was (b)(4).Preventative maintenance was last performed on 11/13/2014.During performance testing, the instrument was found to be out of specification by the field service engineer.Calibration was performed on 07/16/2015 when the reagent kit was loaded onto the system.The customer uses anti-ccp once a week and runs all samples every monday.It was noted that the customer uses biorad quality controls which do not have values for anti-ccp.The customer has set a range based on the values received over time and is using that range when running quality controls.The reagent kit was recalibrated on 08/21/2015 when the calibration signals seemed lower.After recalibrating, the signal dropped lower.The quality controls at this time were within the range set by the customer.It was noted that the calibration signals obtained by the customer were too low for both levels and calibration is not performed frequently enough based on manufacturer recommendations.
