Event Description
|
Discordant, falsely elevated coagulation factor ix (factor ix) results were obtained on a patient sample on a bcs xp instrument, using the coagulation factor ix deficient plasma reagent.The sample was repeated using a non-siemens methodology, resulting lower.On (b)(6) 2017, the sample was repeated using the initial reagent lot, resulting in discordant, falsely elevated factor ix results.The patient blood was redrawn and the new sample was run multiple times, using the same reagent lot on (b)(6) 2017 and (b)(6) 2017, resulting in other discordant, falsely elevated factor ix results.The redrawn sample was also repeated using a non-siemens methodology, resulting lower.The customer indicated that some of the results determined by the coagulation factor ix deficient plasma reagent were reported to the physician(s), who questioned the results.The customer also stated that correct results were reported to the physician(s).There are no known reports of patient intervention or adverse health consequences due to the discordant, falsely elevated factor ix results.
