The cause of the discordant elevated aptt result is a use error. An incorrect test protocol was in place in the software for the actin fs aptt reagent since installation in 2015. A siemens healthcare diagnostics technical assistance specialist (tas) incorrectly entered the actin fsl test protocol at the account when the actin fs reagent was installed on the ca-660 instrument on (b)(6) 2015. The incorrect settings were in use for actin fs lots 538492 and 538503. The error was discovered when the account requested the tas to assist them in switching from the actin fs reagent to actin fsl reagent in (b)(6) 2017. The account stated that they have been participating in the siemens healthcare quality assurance program. Quality control values have been recovering in the peer ranges. They also stated that there have been no proficiency survey failures during the period of incorrect settings. The account is a free standing emergency department and stated that their physicians do not use the actin fs reagent aptt for heparin monitoring. The account stated that their physicians have not questioned results during the period. The tas entered correct assay settings for actin fsl to complete the switch to the alternate aptt reagent in (b)(6) 2017. The account is now using the actin fsl reagent with the correct protocol for aptt with actin fsl on the ca-660 system. No further issues have been reported. The issue is resolved. The device is performing within specifications. No further evaluation of the device is required.
