Siemens filed the initial mdr 9610806-2019-00037 on 19-mar-2019.Additional information (26-mar-2019): siemens further investigated the issue and determined that the issue was sample related.However, the specific cause of the discordant, falsely low prothrombin time (pt) and international normalized ratio (inr) results could not be determined.Inadequate mixing, centrifugation, sample tube type, or mishandling of the sample or reagent could all have been contributing factors to the discordant results.The reagent is performing according to specifications.No further evaluation of this device is required.
