The following fields were updated due to additional information: d10: device available for eval yes, d10: returned to manufacturer on: 2021-04-28.H6: investigation summary: bd received 1 samples and 3 photos for investigation.The photos were reviewed and the indicated failure mode for red cell ring and microclots was observed.Erroneous results cannot be confirmed from the photos.Additionally, the customer sample was evaluated visually for edta content.And no visual defects were found.The spray distribution is according to the product specifications.Two hundred retention samples of the incident lot selected from bd inventory and were visually evaluated and no visual defects were observed.Retention samples were further tested and no issues relating to red cell ring, microclot, or erroneous results were observed.No difficulties were encountered during blood collection and all tubes appeared to exhibit proper fill.Bd was unable to duplicate the customer¿s indicated failure (erroneous results, red cell ring, microclots) because the defect was not evident in the testing of the complaint lot (retention) samples.Replicates of both complaint and control samples tested were acceptable in terms of both precision and accuracy (validations attached).Laboratory visual evaluations of retain samples indicated that the edta tubes performed as expected.Based on a review of the device history record for the incident lot, all product specifications and requirements for lot release were met.There were no related quality issues during manufacturing of the product.This complaint has been confirmed for red cell ring and microclots based on the photos provided.A root cause could not be determined.H3 other text : see h10.
