Additional Manufacturer Narrative

Pre-analytical data, alarm trace, and images were provided for investigation.An instrument check was done on (b)(6)2023 and the instrument was performing within specifications.The investigation of the sample images identified 3 different issues where the samples contained air bubbles, appeared to be turbid (fibrin clots) and contained a film/particles.The active gripper wheels appeared dusty.The investigation did not identify a product problem.The elecsys anti-hav ii assay performs within specifications.The cause of the event was due to pre-analytical issues (the samples contained air bubbles, appeared to be turbid/fibrin clots, and contained a film/particles) at the customer's site.Preanalytics are within the customer's responsibility.
