Event or Problem Description

The initial reporter questioned high results for "several" patient samples tested for elecsys anti-tpo (anti-tpo) on a cobas e 411 analyzer (disk system).Following the high results, the customer recalibrated the reagent and repeated the patient samples and the results were not reproducible.Examples of discrepant results were provided for 4 patient samples.Patient 1 initial result was >600 iu/ml with a data flag.The repeat result was 180.0 iu/ml.Patient 2 initial result was 449.5 iu/ml.The repeat result was 16.94 iu/ml.Patient 3 initial result was 492.0 iu/ml.The repeat result was 14.41 iu/ml.Patient 4 initial result was 144.8 iu/ml.The repeat result was 13.09 iu/ml.No questionable results were reported outside of the laboratory.

Additional Manufacturer Narrative

Calibration signals were within expectations, however, the customer does not calibrate the reagent daily.Product labeling states: "renewed calibration on all analyzers: daily: when using the same reagent kit on the analyzers".Qc data was imprecise due to the missing daily calibration.The investigation determined the event was consistent with a reagent handling issue (not calibrating the reagent daily).The investigation did not identify a product problem.
