Event or Problem Description
|
|
The initial reporter received questionable elecsys toxo igm (toxo igm) results from one patient sample tested on the cobas e411 rack.The initial result was not reported outside of the laboratory.The patient sample was sent out and was analyzed using the chemiluminescent immunoassay (clia) laboratory method.The repeat result was on (b)(6) 2023, the initial result from the analyzer was "non-reactive" with a cut-off index (coi) of 0.256.On (b)(6) 2023, the first repeat result from the analyzer was "reactive" with a coi of 1.53.On (b)(6) 2023, the second repeat result from the analyzer was "reactive" with a coi of 1.51.On (b)(6) 2023, the third repeat result from the clia method was "non-reactive" with a coi of 0.08.

Additional Manufacturer Narrative

No patient sample was available for investigation.The investigation reviewed the last calibration from 04-apr-2023; the results were within specifications.Product labeling states "calibration frequency: calibration must be performed once per reagent lot using toxigm cal1, toxigm cal2 and fresh reagent (i.E.Not more than 24 hours since the reagent kit was registered on the analyzer).Calibration interval may be extended based on acceptable verification of calibration by the laboratory.Renewed calibration is recommended as follows: ¿ after 1 month (28 days) when using the same reagent lot ¿ after 7 days (when using the same reagent kit on the analyzer) ¿ as required: e.G.Quality control findings outside the defined limits ¿ more frequently when this is required by pertinent regulations." the investigation reviewed the qc recovery on the relevant days of measurement; the results were within specifications.An extensive investigation has confirmed a lower specificity for reagent lot 671956 (same production event as for lot 671949) compared to the previous lot 652164, showing an increase of approx.1.2 % in the amount of reactive elecsys toxo igm results.The determined specificity of the affected lot 671956 was lower compared with the specificity claims in the method sheet, however, within the lower confidence limits of study 1 and study 2 as stated in the method comparison section of the method sheet.Product labeling states "study 1: n = 785; relative sensitivity = 95.3 % (162/170); lower confidence limit = 91.7 %; relative specificity = 98.8 % (595/602); lower confidence limit 97.8 %; study 2: n = 390; relative sensitivity = 98.8 % (83/84); lower confidence limit = 94.5 %; relative specificity = 99.5 % (294/295); lower confidence limit 98.4 %".The investigation did not identify a product problem.
