Siemens filed the initial mdr 2432235-2025-00275 on 14-oct-2025.Additional information (07-nov-2025): siemens healthcare diagnostics concluded the investigation of the event.Siemens reviewed the information provided by the customer, and the available instrument data files.Quality control (qc) recovered low outside the customer's acceptable ranges, and erroneously depressed creatinine_2 (crea_2) patient-sample results were obtained when ran with a reagent lot calibration using well 2, and the qc recovered within the customer's acceptable ranges when ran with an alternate crea_2 lot using well 1.Siemens review did not identify any sample aspiration or hardware issues during the event.Siemens evaluated the event and determined that the compromised reagent well potentially contributed to the reported event.The cause of the compromised reagent well is unknown.A product issue was not identified.The device is performing according to the specifications.No further evaluation is required.Section h6 has been updated to reflect the siemens investigation.
