The investigation determined that higher and lower than expected phenytoin (phyt) results were obtained from non-vitros biorad quality controls processed using vitros chemistry products phyt slides lot 2627-0193-5577 on a vitros xt 7600 integrated system.The assignable cause of the lower and higher than expected vitros phyt results is an instrument related issue.Historical quality control results were found to be imprecise.Additionally, the customer had stated the same lot of vitros phyt reagent was performing within expectations along with the same biorad controls on the site's alternate vitros instrument.An ortho field engineer (fe) replaced the tubing of the immunorate subsystem of the vitros xt 7600 system and performed adjustments to the subsystem.Following service actions, vitros phyt control results have returned to expectations.
