Additional Manufacturer Narrative
|
|
The result of 245.9 mg/dl was believed to be correct because it matches the patient's clinical condition.The investigation found that the metabolite-sensitive sensor (mss) cassette had an "install before" date of (b)(6) 2024.The cassette had expired before the alleged event.Product labeling states: "using expired mss cassettes and/or mss cassettes that have exceeded their maximum in-use time may lead to incorrect results.Data collected using expired mss cassettes and/or mss cassettes that have exceeded their maximum in-use time are not reliable.This may lead to incorrect results, which may endanger patient lives.Do not install mss cassettes after the "install before" date.Do not use mss cassettes after their maximum in-use time." the investigation did not identify a product problem.
