Field service engineers (fse) evaluated 17 of the 23 events at the customers' sites. Two of the 23 events were evaluated by the fses over-the-phone with the customers. Four (4) of the 23 events were evaluated by technical support (ts) over-the-phone with the customers. Evaluation of 22 of the 23 events determined that the sampling unit assemblies on the g8 analyzers either required replacement, cleaning or lubrication to resolve the reported events. One (1) of the 23 events could not be replicated by the fse while at the customer's site. Two (2) sample units were returned to the tosoh instrument service center (isc) for investigation. Isc was not able to replicate the reported events. The g8 analyzers were repaired and returned to operational status.

This report summarizes 23 malfunction events on the g8 analyzer. The review of these events indicated that the g8 analyzers experienced syringe failures, which caused delayed reporting of hemoglobin a1c (hba1c) patient results. These reports were received from various sources. Of the 23 events, 4 events involved patient samples with no indication of patient intervention or adverse health consequences due to the delayed reporting in patient test results. None of these events necessitated remedial action to prevent an unreasonable risk of substantial harm to the public health.
