The complaint investigation for falsely negative architect sars-cov-2 igg results included a search for similar complaints, and the review of complaint data, labeling, scientific literature and device history records.Return testing was not completed as returns were not available.A review of complaints for the lot number 18308fn00 did not show increased complaint activity.In-house sensitivity testing for reagent lot 18305fn00 was completed using a retained sample of the complaint lot stored at the recommended storage condition.All validity and acceptance criteria were met indicating that the lot is performing acceptably.Device history record review on lot 18305fn00 did not show any potential non-conformances, non-conformances or deviations related to the complaint issue.Labeling was reviewed and adequately addresses the issue under review.In this case, no specific patient history was provided for the patient and no pcr testing information was available.The patient appears to be a possible seroreversion since there was 7 months between the initial test result and repeat results.Per the product labeling the assay sensitivity within the 95% confidence level is 95.89%- 100.00%.Patients have different immune responses and the insert states that immunocompromised patients who have covid-19 may have a delayed antibody response and produce levels of antibody which may not be detected as positive by the assay.To assess the clinical performance of the assay, a study was performed using 122 serum and plasma specimens collected at different times from 31 subjects who tested positive for sars-cov-2 by a polymerase chain reaction (pcr) method and who also presented with covid-19 symptoms.The positive percent agreement (ppa) at = 14 days post-symptom onset is 100.00% (95% ci: 95.89, 100.00).Five specimens from 1 immunocompromised patient were excluded from the study.When the results from these specimens were included, the ppa at = 14 days post-symptom onset was 96.77% (95% ci: 90.86, 99.33).Review of the manuscript, bryan et al.2020.¿performance characteristics of the abbott architect sars-cov-2 igg assay and seroprevalence in boise, idaho¿ j.Clin.Microbiol, doi: 10.1128/jcm.00941-20, showed sensitivity data consistent with product labeling.125 patients who tested rt-pcr positive for sars-cov-2 for which 689 excess serum specimens were available was tested and it was found that sensitivity reached 100% at day 17 after symptom onset and day 13 after pcr positivity.Results should be used in conjunction with other data; e.G., symptoms, results of other tests, and clinical impressions.Results from antibody testing should not be used as the sole basis to diagnose or exclude sars-cov-2 infection or to inform infection status.Based on the investigation architect sars-cov-2 igg reagent lot 18305fn00 is performing as intended, no systemic issue or deficiency of the architect sars-cov-2 igg reagent was identified.Suspect medical device: catalog no: updated from 06r86-20 to 06r86-30.Device manufacturers only: device mfg date: updated from 07/25/2020 to 06/25/2020.
