Additional Manufacturer Narrative

The calibration signal performed on 19-jun-2025 was low.A test for the reagent pack (a new reagent pack was used) was performed using the frozen reconstituted calibration solution; the signals were significantly higher.The investigation did not identify a problem with the reagent pack.The investigation found that the customer's qc material was refrigerated after opening and not frozen; an issue with the detection of qc deviations is likely.The investigation determined the event was consistent with an issue with the particular reagent pack used at the time of the event.The investigation did not identify a product problem.The specific cause of the event could not be determined.
