Additional Manufacturer Narrative
|
|
The customer from outside the united states (ous) reports observation of discordant elevated results with high-sensitivity troponin i (tnih) on multiple patient samples when processed on the advia centaur xp instrument.Siemens evaluated the instrument data and the information provided by the customer.The reagent and instrument performance issues were ruled out based on the review of quality control (qc) which showed recovery within acceptable ranges.Two of the patients ((b)(6)) had cardiac conditions that can cause an elevation in troponin i in the absence of ami.Per the instructions for use (ifu) there are cardiac and non-cardiac conditions that can cause elevated troponin i in the absence of ami.The limitations section of the assay instructions for use (ifu) states ¿values obtained with different assay methods cannot be used interchangeably.The measured concentration of ctni in a given specimen can vary between assays due to differences in assay design and methodology.¿ the return of the patient sample for further investigation was not possible due to local export reasons and the customer was not able to run nabt or hbt to further investigate potential sample-specific interferences.Based on the available information, a specific cause for the discordant results was unable to be determined.A product problem was not identified.The issue was resolved by routine troubleshooting.The customer is operational, and no further action is required.
