Apoc incident: # (b)(4).The investigation was completed on 14-dec-2023.Retained cartridge testing could not be performed as the lot expired on 09-apr-2023, prior to the investigation initiation date of 10-nov-2023.Although previous retained cartridge testing met the acceptance criteria outlined in appendix 1 of q04.01.003 rev.Al (product complaint level 2 and level 3 investigation procedure), total b-hcg cartridge lot p22297 is associated with a previously identified deficiency unrelated to the customer's observation of a high discrepant result.The deficiency is addressed by quality record 904333.
