Additional Manufacturer Narrative
|
|
Correction: the cobas integra 400 plus serial number was (b)(6).A general reagent problem can be excluded because calibration and quality control were acceptable.The frequent occurrence of the "filling volume/no fluid" alarm was consistent with incorrect filled tubes or wrong tube configuration.The clotting time was low which was consistent with a general pre-analytical issue.The investigation did not identify a product problem.The root cause was consistent with a pre-analytical issue.
