  • Causa
    The company holding the record reports an investigation has detected that the signal for all affected batches levels of the vitros ca 125 ii ™ calibrators increased during the shelf life of the product, resulting in negative bias in patient outcomes and control of quality. the internal tests confirmed that this is an isolated problem for lots 1220, 1230, 1240 and 1250. the observed maximum bias was -15%, since lot 1240 was near the expiration of its expiration date compared to lot 1270. as a result of negative bias and normal batch-to-batch variation, a significantly positive deviation in patient outcomes and quality control can be observed when using lot 1260 or above when compared to affected batches.
