Additional Manufacturer Narrative

Bubbles and foam were observed in the patient samples.The customer has since implemented a new centrifugation step after defrosting patient samples.Foam on samples may lead to low results for this assay.The root cause of the event was found to be consistent with pre-analytical sample handling issues.No product problem was identified.
