MAUDE data represents reports of adverse events involving medical devices. This maude entry was filed with the FDA on 2017-07-20 for ADVIA CHEMISTRY IMMUNOGLOBULIN M_2 REAGENTS (IGM_2) 10309032 manufactured by Siemens Healthcare Diagnostics Inc..
[80805011]
A siemens regional application specialist (ras) reviewed the reaction curves and data provided by the customer and determined that the falsely low igm_2 results may have been produced by some inhibitory agent present within the sample. The manual pre-dilution of the sample reduces the effect of the interference and allows the true elevated value to be measured. The advia 2400 instrument did not generate any errors on the initial result because the reaction curve shows no abnormalities. It also shows that there was no prozone or hook effect and that the falsely low igm_2 results were not obtained directly due to an antigen excess. The ras specialist concluded that the possible causes of the discordant results could be steric hindrance by high protein concentration or non-specific binding of antibodies in igm_2 reagent to some specific agent present in the sample or some other para-protein such as presence of human anti-goat antibodies. The advia 2400 igm_2 method uses goat anti-human igm antibodies. If the patient has been exposed to goats they may have anti-goat antibodies present in their blood. If this is the cause, other igm_2 results on the advia 2400 instrument may also be falsely low. A regional support center specialist stated that the quality controls and other patient samples for igm_2 have been recovering reproducibly. Therefore, this sample appears to be an isolated incident. The cause of the discordant, falsely low igm_2 results on one patient sample is unknown. The device is performing within manufacturing specifications. No further evaluation of device is required.

[80805012]
Discordant, falsely low immunoglobulin m_2 (igm_2) results were obtained on one patient sample when run neat on an advia 2400 instrument, while using reagent lot 411515. The sample was manually diluted with 1:10 dilution factor and repeated twice in duplicate on the same instrument, resulting higher each time. The discordant results were reported to the physician(s), who questioned them. The corrected results were reported to the physician(s). There are no reports of patient intervention or adverse health consequence due to the discordant, falsely low igm_2 results.
