The field service representative (fsr) inspected the architect (b)(4) and determined the bellows set, including rod & fitting required replacement because the bellows was noted to be cracked.Replacement of the bellows set resolved the issue and was identified as the likely cause.A review of tracking and trending data in the product monitoring review for clinical chemistry systems revealed no systemic issues or adverse trends related to the erratic result issue described in this complaint.The erratic result rates were reviewed and are within acceptable limits with no trends identified.Historical data for the bellows set was reviewed and no adverse trend, systemic issues, or nonconformances were identified.Additionally, labeling was reviewed and sufficiently addresses the customer's issue.Based on the information within the complaint record no systemic issue or deficiency was identified for the architect c4000 analyzer.
