Additional Manufacturer Narrative
|
|
Three samples were submitted for investigation and tested on an e801 module.It is not clear if all 3 samples were for patient 1 or patient 2 or if they were for both patient 1 and 2.The incorrect results for free psa and total psa alleged by the customer were confirmed during the investigation.For 2 samples, there was not enough sample left for further investigation.One sample (a sample from patient 2) was investigated further through dilution and spiking experiments.The investigation determined the presence of a rare interference against a component of the reagent causing the low results for both free psa and total psa.The investigation did not identify a product problem.Both assays perform within specification.
