Event Description

The quality engineer (qe) reported that during routine testing of the device, while using the blood parameter monitor (bpm) for calibration testing in the manufacturer's (b)(4)site, it was noticed that the venous bpm probe was measuring the potassium (k+) chemistry at a much higher intensity than the other three bpm probes involved in the test.There was no patient involvement.

The reported complaint was not verifiable.Product surveillance technician (pst) and service repair technician (srt) were unable to duplicate the customer's settings.During laboratory analysis, the monitor was placed in service mode and a standard reference sensor test (srs) was successfully performed.All seven channels of the venous blood parameter monitor were under 10% for drift.Per product engineering, no blood loop testing is required; as this is not an inaccuracy issue.For the device to be inaccurate, they need blood data from customer in operating range compared to blood gas analyzer (bga).In this case, the manufacturer's elkton site is using the device as an intensity screener and they do have srs and chemistry which will read a higher range of intensity.It does not mean inaccurate, only different intensity from the stimulus provided to the device.If additional information becomes available on this complaint that would alter the facts and/or conclusion, a supplemental report will be filed accordingly.
