Manufacturer Narrative

This is our combined initial and final report on this incident.

Event Description

The customer reported a false negative antibody screening test of a patient sample when tested with biotestcell pool on tango infinity.The specificity of the missed antibody was an anti-k.The customer returned the supposedly defective product for investigational testing and also the patient sample which had caused a false negative test result.Because only a very small quantity of the complaint sample was provided by the customer it was not possible to test this sample on tango infinity.Therefore our quality control laboratory tested the patient sample with their retained sample of biotestcell pool on tango infinity and yielded a correct positive result.The retained sample was also tested with different samples and controls, including anti-k on tango infinity.All positive and negative reactions were correct.We did not observe any false negative reaction.Testing by our quality control laboratory confirmed that the allegedly defective lot of biotestcell pool functions correctly.A review of the batch record documentation showed no irregularities which might have negatively affected the quality of the allegedly defective lot.The affected tango infinity was checked by a field service engineer.The engineer performed metrology and ran controls with passing results.The instrument was confirmed to operate within specification.
