The product was returned for evaluation.Review of the manufacturing and qc records indicate that the analyzer was manufactured without issue and met all the product release criteria.The returned analyzer and strips were tested with diluted control solutions and clinical urine samples.The tests were compared to a new canister of mckesson strips and siemens strips.The results for both the analyzer results and the visual showed no anomalies.No false negatives were observed.The led status of the returned analyzer was also observed to be within the acceptable range set up i.E.2347/2503.As the returned products did not reproduce the reported issue, the root cause could not be determined.The reported issue of getting false negatives results on the analyzer could not be confirmed.
