Review of complaint activity determined that there were no other complaints related to falsely depressed results for the likely cause lot.Tracking and trending report review for the carbon dioxide assay determined that there were no related adverse or non-statistical trends.The customer's instrument logs were reviewed.This review found the absorbances for the last calibration with the likely cause lots were lower than previous calibrations, which may indicate possible contamination of the carbon dioxide reagent.Using world wide field data the performance of reagent lot 53082uq05 and calibrator lot 11449fd01 were reviewed and no issues were identified.Manufacturing documentation for the assay was reviewed and did not identify any issues.Labeling was reviewed and sufficiently addresses the customer's issue.No systemic issue or deficiency of the architect carbon dioxide assay was identified.
