Investigation conclusion: retention devices of the reported lot were tested with cutoff serum standard (25miu/ml hcg) and all devices produced positive results.All devices met the qc specification and no false negative results were observed.The customer's results were replicated with returned samples tested on retained devices; however, hcg quantitative analysis produced results in agreement with the in-house sample testing.Retained devices produced negative results with the (b)(6) 2016 sample (quantitative= 1.0 miu/ml hcg) and positive results with the (b)(6) 2016 sample (quantitative= >1,000 miu/ml hcg).All results met the qc specification.Quantitative hcg analysis of the samples revealed that the product performed as expected.No false negative results were observed during in-house testing and the product performed as expected.A review of manufacturing batch records did not uncover any abnormalities.Based on the information available, there is no indication of a product deficiency and no corrective action is required.Correction: device available for evaluation incorrectly selected as "yes" with a returned to manufacturer date of 12/06/2016.The corrected selected for this field is "no" with no returned to manufacturer date.Device evaluated by manufacturer incorrectly selected as "yes." the corrected selected for this field is "no" with "not returned to manufacturer" also selected.
