Additional Manufacturer Narrative
|
|
The investigation did not identify a product problem.The specific cause of the event could not be determined.The issue was consistent with a high leukocyte concentration in the samples leading to an accumulation of cells close to the plasma surface.Therefore, the most likely root cause is related to preanalytics/sample related.Correct pre-analytic sample handling is within the customer's responsibility.
