Further investigation of the customer issue included a review of the complaint text, a search for similar complaints, in-house testing, and a review of labeling.Ticket searches determined that there is normal complaint activity for likely cause lot 77075li00.Tracking and trending report review for the (b)(6) assay determined that there are no related adverse or non-statistical trends.A retained reagent kit of lot number 77075li00 was tested in a sensitivity setup, including additional replicates of a sensitivity panel.Results of this setup did not implicate that the performance of the lot was negatively impacted.Labeling was reviewed and sufficiently addresses the customer's issue.No systemic issue or deficiency of the architect syphilis tp assay was identified.Update 2017 dec 04: initial mdr, serial number field incorrectly contained (b)(4).This field was corrected and left blank.
