Siemens filed the initial mdr 2432235-2025-00300 on 28-nov-2025.Additional information (10-dec-2025): siemens reviewed the instrument data files, and the information provided by the customer.Siemens review indicated that the customer was running patient samples without any issues on reagent well 1, but erroneous results were obtained when samples were processed on reagent well 2.Quality control (qc) was out of range when well 2 was used, but within range when well 1 was used.There were no sample aspiration or hardware issues during the use of well 2.Siemens determined that a compromised reagent well of unknown cause potentially contributed to the erroneously depressed creatinine_2 (crea_2) results.A product issue was not identified.The customer is operational.The device is performing within specifications.No further evaluation is required.Section h6 has been updated to reflect the siemens investigation.
