Additional Manufacturer Narrative
H.6 investigation summary investigation summary: scope of issue: the scope of issue is only limited to bd facscanto ii cytometer 4/2 system ivd, part # 338960, and serial # (b)(6).Problem statement: the customer reported a complaint of potential erroneous results that their measurements in the canto software are not correct according to the cantoclinical sw 2.4, on 16nov2022.Absolute values when measuring the stem cell kit are not correct.Too many cells and too few trucount beads are being measured.Values cannot be given out.Manufacturing defect trend: there are zero qns (quality notifications) related to the reported issue for part # 338960.Date range from 16nov2021 to date 16nov2022.Manufacturing device history record (dhr) review: dhr part # 338960 serial # (b)(6), file # (b)(4) was reviewed.The instrument met all the manufacturing specifications prior to release.Complaint history review: there are 4 complaints related to this issue of result - erroneous diagnostic for part # 338960; date range from (b)(6) to date 16nov2022.Returned sample analysis: a return sample was not requested because the replaced part resolved the issue.Service history review: review of related work order #: (b)(4); case # (b)(4).Install date: 11jan2008.Defective part number: 335384 - kineflex blue laser fiber.Work order notes: subject / reported: measurements in canto software are not ok according to customer.Problem description: when measuring the stem cell kits, the absolute values of the cells are not correct.It seems like too few truecount beads are measured.Work performed: echnical use from 21.11.2022.We have carried out a repair on their bd facscanto¿ ii in the field of optics.This includes: inspection of the canto ii, replacement of the blue laser fiber.Cleaning of the flow cell and renewal of the optical gel.Test measurement together with the application with truecount beads and customer samples.Final inspection: cs&t baseline successfully completed.Cs&t performance check successfully completed.7 color setup completed successfully.Laser safety check performed.The device complies with the specifications of the system and is ready for use without restrictions.Cause: blue fiber optic not in order.Solution: replacement of blue fiber optics.Labeling / packaging review: n/a.Risk analysis: risk management file part # 338960-03ra, version a / revision 02, bd facscanto ii flow cytometer (optics) fmea was reviewed.No new hazards have been identified and the current mitigations are sufficient.Hazard(s) identified? yes / no.Hazard id #(item): 2.Blue laser.Hazard (potential failure mode): 2.1 excites blue dyes.Harmful effects (potential effects of failure): 2.1.1.1.Detection sensitivity specifications not met.Cause (potential causes/mechanisms of failure): 2.1.1.1.1 power dropping.Residual severity: 4.Residual probability (residual occurrence): 2.Residual risk index (rpn): 24.Potential causes: based on the investigation, the potential cause was due to a worn kineflex blue laser fiber, part# 335384.Investigation result / analysis: the investigation was performed and based on the review of the complaint trend, defect trend, dhr, risk analysis, and servicemax, the potential cause of erroneous results was due to a worn kineflex blue laser fiber, part# 335384.This can contribute to incorrect measurements, unsatisfactory readings or unexpected data, however there are troubleshooting processes in place to detect these types of issues.An fse (field service engineer) replaced the worn part, performed tests, and conducted preventive maintenance procedures to bring the instrument to bd specifications.This resolved the customer¿s issue and was back up and running.No parts were requested for evaluation since the replaced laser resolved the issue.Although the instrument was used for diagnostic testing the issue was identified and resolved before the patient sample results were used for any diagnosis or treatment.No patient was harmed nor injured from erroneous results.Troubleshooting procedures can be found in the bd facscanto¿ ii flow cytometer instructions for use (ifu) manual, #23-20269-00 rev.1/vers.A, starting on page 181, and page 201 for data issues.The safety risk of this hazard has been identified to be within the acceptable level.Conclusion: based on the investigation, the complaint was confirmed, and the potential cause of erroneous results was due to a worn kineflex blue laser fiber, part# 335384.An fse replaced the worn part, performed tests, and conducted preventive maintenance procedures to bring the instrument to bd specifications no erroneous results were reported to clinicians and no patients were harmed due to the this issue.Based on the investigation results, a capa is not required because there was no impact to customer and patient health or safety.Supporting document: n/a.
