Further investigation of the customer issue included a review of the complaint text, a search for similar complaints, review of instrument logs, review of field performance, review of manufacturing documents and a review of labeling.Review of complaint activity did not identify any adverse or non-statistical trends for the architect hbsag qualitative assay.Normal complaint activity was identified for reagent lot 79225fn00.The customer's instrument logs were reviewed.All of the (b)(6) qualitative results obtained on (b)(6) 2018 for the patient showed no atypical signal profiles.Retest of the original sample and a second sample from the same patient one day later generated consistent (b)(6) qualitative results using the same reagent kit of lot 79225fn00 on the same analyzer as the initial testing.Using world wide field data the specificity of reagent lot 79225fn00 was evaluated and compared to the performance of other on-market reagent lots in the field.This evaluation indicated that the patient median result for lot 79225fn00 was similar to other architect (b)(6) qualitative reagent lots in the field.Manufacturing documentation for the likely cause lot was reviewed and did not identify any issues associated with false positive results.Labeling was reviewed and sufficiently addresses the customer's issue.No systemic issue or deficiency of the architect hbsag qualitative assay was identified.
