Event or Problem Description

|
The customer reported discrepant results after performing immediate spin, using the seraclone anti-d (rh1) blend.The customer stated that the patient results were negative but when the reactions remained in the tube, the reaction changed to positive.The customer returned two vials of the product sample seraclone anti-d (rh1) blend for investigational testing.Our quality control laboratory tested both samples for potency in parallel with their retention sample and a reference lot.All four reagent samples showed comparable results and met the minimum titer.In addition, both vials of the complaint sample were tested with different samples for the specificity of the methods described in the instructions for use (ifu), including the immediate spin method.All positive and negative reactions were correct.A review of the batch record documentation showed no irregularities which might have negatively affected the quality of the allegedly defective lot.Based on the investigation the complaint was classified as unjustified.Complaint sample and retention sample reacted as expected.All acceptance criteria regarding specificity and potency were met.Nevertheless we referred the customer to the following section of the instruction for use (ifu): "if the immediate reaction with anti-d (rh1) blend is negative, a test for weak d or partial d may be performed.Very weak antigen expression may not be detected.There is no monoclonal anti-d reagent, which will detect all parts of the d antigen." furthermore, we pointed out that the cell buttons must dislodged gently after centrifugation.Otherwise, the agglutinates of weak positive reactions might be destroyed.
