Additional Manufacturer Narrative
The customer contacted siemens customer care center.Siemens headquarters support center (hsc) reviewed the data provided by the customer.Hsc found that the falsely elevated co2_c results were processed from reaction cuvette slot 185.The hsc found no evidence of a reagent lot or pack issue as the abnormal results were not isolated to a reagent pack, well, or calibration id.Similarly, the results are not suggestive of a sample specific issue that would have contributed to the atypically elevated absorbance signal produced for tests using this cuvette slot.No patient sample was requested for investigation.The affected cuvette segment was replaced, and no additional issues have been reported by the customer post the troubleshooting.The actions performed resolved the reported issue at the customer site.Siemens is further investigating the issue.Mdr 2432235-2019-00380, mdr 2432235-2019-00381, mdr 2432235-2019-00382 were filed for the same event.
