Event or Problem Description
|
|
A customer obtained inconsistent results with advia centaur cp (serial number (b)(4)) high sensitivity troponin i (tnih), lot 061.The initial patient result obtained was elevated.The result was reported to the physician and was questioned.Repeat testing was performed on the same day using the same sample and the same instrument with the same lot 061 readypack in triplicate.Two of the replicates were lower and considered correct, but one replicate was elevated.The elevated repeat result and the elevated initial result were considered to be discordant.The same sample was tested again, in duplicate, with a new readypack and both results were lower and considered correct.A new sample from the same patient was obtained and tested using the original readypack in triplicate and with the new readypack in duplicate.All results were lower and considered correct.On the next day, both samples were retested using the new readypack.Results were repeatable and low as expected.A corrected report was issued with the results from the second sample.There are no known reports of patient intervention or adverse health consequences due to the elevated tnih results.

Siemens healthcare diagnostics filed mdr 1219913-2022-00149 initial report on 2022-05-24.Additional information: 2022-06-06.Siemens concluded the investigation for an outside of the united states (ous) customer observation of non reproducible elevated results on a sample from one patient using advia centaur cp high sensitivity troponin i (tnih), lot: 061.Siemens reviewed the available information to determine probable cause and evaluate for potential product issue.The sample originally resulted 167 ng/l; the sample was repeated on a new reagent pack of the same lot and recovered 4.94 and 5 ng/l.The sample was repeated again on the original readypack and resulted less than 99th% cutoff of 47 ng/l, as listed in the instructions for use.A new sample from the same patient (collected at the same time as the original sample) was run on the original readypack and the new readypack and all results were low and less than the cutoff.The new sample did recover higher on the original readypack, but still below cutoff.Controls were within acceptable limits on both reagent packs.There is an observed increase in spurious elevated results on the original reagent pack with the original sample.One result (167 ng/l) was above the normal cutoff.The problematic pack and new pack were not received in the same shipment.The problematic pack did not show any clumps, particulate matter, settling of the pmp particles.While the exact root cause of the imprecise results on this patient sample cannot be determined, siemens cannot rule out that the original readypack in use was compromised.There are also potential preanalytical issues with the original sample, but the second sample was reproducible on both readypacks.Based on the available information a product performance issue has not been identified.Customer is operational.No further action is required.In section h6, investigation finding and investigation conclusion codes were updated based on the investigation results.
