On (b)(6) 2021 the customer sent another sample from the patient for testing by 2 other manufacturers.The insulin result by the sysmex method was 164.49 uu/ml (reference range: 2.6-24.9uu/ml).The insulin result by the mindary method was 7.5 uiu/ml (reference range: 2.2-25uiu/ml).The sample was also tested for c-peptide where the result by the sysmex method was 0.5 ng/ml (reference range: 0.8-4.0 ng/ml) and the result by the mindary method was 0.3 ng/ml (reference range: 1-4.8 ng/ml).

Calibration was acceptable.Multiple warnings were observed on the customer's qc data from the dates of sample measurement.Three samples from the patient were received for investigation and tested for insulin on an e411 instrument and an e801 module: sample from (b)(6)2021: cobas e411: 14.04 uu/ml, cobas e801 pro: 14.8uu/ml sample from (b)(6)-2021: cobas e411: 1.83 uu/ml cobas e801 pro: 2.52uu/ml sample from (b)(6)-2021: cobas e411: 5.79 uu/ml cobas e801 pro: 6.28uu/ml the 3 samples were also tested for c-peptide: sample from (b)(6)-2021: cobas e411: 0.988 ng/ml, cobas e801 pro: 0.937 ng/ml sample from (b)(6)-2021: cobas e411: 0.159 ng/ml, cobas e801 pro: 0.163 ng/ml sample from (b)(6)-2021: cobas e411: 0.437 ng/ml, cobas e801 pro: 0.411 ng/ml the c-peptide results correspond to the insulin results.The samples were investigated further and no interfering factor was identified.Based on the investigation results, the investigation did not identify a product problem.The insulin assay is performing within specifications.
