Additional Manufacturer Narrative

|
A united states (us) customer contacted a siemens customer care center to report a falsely elevated high-sensitivity troponin i (tnih) result that was obtained on a patient sample on an advia centaur cp immunoassay system.Quality control (qc) and calibration recovered within ranges at the time of the event.A siemens customer service engineer (cse) was dispatched to the customer¿s site.The cse found that the luminometer waste probe was partially occluded, causing build up in the luminometer.The cse styleted the probe, removed the luminometer rotor, and cleaned the rotor and luminometer housing.The cse then verified the system fluidics, the sample probe and reagent probe alignments.The customer ran qc which was found to be within ranges.Siemens further evaluated the event and concluded that the actions taken by the cse were normal troubleshooting activities and the potential cause could not be determined.The instrument is performing according to specifications.No further evaluation of this device is required.
