Additional Manufacturer Narrative

The investigation determined that based on the information provided, the event was consistent with incorrect storage conditions of the reagent pack (the reagent pack was frozen due to the customer's refrigerator problem).In addition, the customer did not run qc on the affected qc pack to detect the issue and exclude it from further measurements.Product labeling states "the reagents cannot be frozen.If freezing of a cassette is suspected a control measurement with this cassette is recommended." the investigation did not identify a product problem.
