The firm received complaints from customers reporting vial-to-vial variability when using the control with high sensitivity Troponin I assays. This defect may lead to as delay in patient results for hs Troponin I assays.
Due to QMS Tacrolimus Calibrator recovering between 82 to 94% of their target values, resulting in over-quantitation in tacrolimus patient result values when used with the QMS Tacrolimus Immunoassay.
A reagent stability issue (still under investigation) causes less separation in the calibration curve, which affects results across the entire range. For controls, maximum bias of +/- 35% for low levels, +/- 33% for mid-range levels, and +/- 47% for high levels is observed. Bias in patient samples ranges from -15.7% to +5.2% with an average bias of -5.6% when comparing the QMS everolimus assay to an everolimus LC-MS reference method. Patient samples across the measuring range sub-therapeutic, therapeutic, and supra-therapeutic could be affected.
