The customer contacted a siemens customer care center (ccc).Quality controls (qc) initially recovered within acceptable range on the day of the event.Qc was then run again eight hours later on the same day, at which time the qc did not recover within acceptable range.The customer reconstituted a new vial of the same lot of dade innovin reagent, after which the qc recovered within acceptable range.Siemens is investigating the issue.

|
Four discordant, falsely low prothrombin time (pt) results were obtained on four different patient samples on a sysmex ca-660 system using dade innovin reagent.The discordant results were reported to the physician(s).Each of the four samples was repeated twice for pt on the same day, recovering higher.Two of the four patient were redrawn the following day and run for pt, also resulting higher.All of the repeat results were reported, as the correct results, to the physician(s).There are no reports of patient intervention or adverse health consequences due to the discordant, falsely low prothrombin time (pt) results.

Additional Manufacturer Narrative

|
The initial mdr 9610806-2020-00029 was filed on 23-jun-2020.Additional information (24-jun-2020): siemens requested the list of medications taken by the patients, but the customer declined to provide the information.Sample handling and reagent handling were discussed with the customer.No sample integrity issues were reported.The customer reconstitutes the dade innovin reagent and pours over an aliquot into a gw5 vial for the system.The customer leaves the dade innovin reagent on board the analyzer.The reconstituted vial of dade innovin reagent remains in the refrigerator and is not used past the 10 day instructions for use (ifu) stability requirement.Reagent handling cannot be excluded as a potential cause of the issue.Quality controls (qc) recovered outside of acceptable range and did not come back into range until fresh dade innovin reagent was reconstituted.There were no mechanical errors, and acceptable precision indicates that the instrument was performing acceptably.The cause of the discordant, falsely low prothrombin time (pt) results in unknown.The reagent is performing according to specifications.No further evaluation of this device is required.
