The investigation determined that higher than expected vitros intact pth (ipth) results have occurred with multiple patient samples when comparing data from a method comparison study between the vitros ipth assay and the vitros ipth2 assay tested on a vitros xt 7600 integrated system.The assignable cause could not be determined with the limited information provided.Vitros quality control fluids processed within the timeframe of the correlation testing were predicting as expected and no issues regarding accuracy or precision of the vitros assay were indicated by the customer.However, the customer was reporting higher than expected vitros ipth patient sample results, therefore, a reagent related performance issue cannot be completely ruled out as contributing to the event.Continual tracking and trending of complaints has not identified any signals that would indicate a potential systematic issue with vitros ipth reagent lot 2010.No diagnostic within-run precision testing was performed on the vitros xt7600 integrated system, however, since the vitros ipth quality control results were acceptable, an instrument-related performance issue did not likely contribute to the event.
