MAUDE data represents reports of adverse events involving medical devices. This maude entry was filed from a 01,05,06 report with the FDA on 2012-02-16 for IMMAGE SYSTEM RHEUMATOID FACTOR (RF) REAGENT IMMAGE RF REAGENT 447070 manufactured by Beckman Coulter, Inc..
[2433588]
Customer called to report that the immage immunochemistry system generated falsely positive rheumatoid factor (rf) patient results when the immage system rheumatoid factor (rf) reagent, lot #m008778, was used. Customer stated that the results were not reported outside the laboratory; therefore, patient treatment was not affected. The positive rf results did not correlate with the patients' physical examinations. The patient samples were then re-run with a different rf reagent lot, lot #m106133, the results of which were negative and correct. The issue appears to be related to the reagent lot that was initially used, and not the instrument. Customer was provided with a replacement reagent lot.
Patient Sequence No: 1, Text Type: D, B5

This follow up report is being submitted to correct an error in the original report. Correction: the erroneous results were reported out of the laboratory; however, patient treatment was not affected.
