A review of the attachments confirms the customer's observation.A review of tickets searches determined normal complaint activity for lot 92151fn00 with this being the only complaint received to date.A review for trends did not identify any for lot 92151fn00.Specificity testing was performed with a retained kit of lot 92151fn00 and all specifications were met indicating the lot is performing acceptably.A review of the manufacturing documentation did not identify any issues associated with the customer's observation.A review of the product labeling concluded that the issue is sufficiently addressed.It is possible that discrepant results were due to sample integrity/handling issues at the time of testing.For accurate results, serum and plasma specimens should be free of fibrin, red blood cells, and other particulate matter.Customers should ensure that complete clot formation in serum specimens has taken place prior to centrifugation.If the specimen is centrifuged before a complete clot forms, the presence of fibrin may cause erroneous results.The customer agreed that fibrin in the sample possibly contributed to the discrepant results and checks have been put in place to inspect for fibrin and ultracentrifuge any suspect samples.Based on the investigation no product deficiency was identified for the architect hbsag confirmatory, lot 92151fn00.
