The investigation has determined that lower than expected vitros prostatic specific antigen (psa) results were obtained from a single level of non-vitros biorad lot 85330 quality control fluid and a single level of non-vitros fuji rebio tumor marker controls lot 49820 using vitros psa reagent lot 4340 tested on a vitros xt 7600 integrated system.The most likely assignable cause of the event was atypical calibrations.Acceptable vitros psa performance was obtained after a calibration event using an alternate set of the same lot of calibrators, with no additional actions taken to optimize the vitros xt7600 integrated system.The customer could not confirm if these atypical calibrations were all performed using the same set of calibrators, however, the customer checked the refrigerator and there is only 1 set of opened vitros psa lot 4340 calibrators, therefore, it is likely all of these calibrations were performed on the same set of calibrators.Continual tracking and trending of complaints has not identified any signals that would point to a potential systemic issue with vitros psa reagent lot 4340.An instrument related performance issue did not likely contribute to the event as diagnostic within-run precision testing indicated the vitros xt7600 integrated system was performing as intended.
