  • Notas adicionales en la data
    According to the company, a corrective action plan was initiated to define the root cause and determine the long-term action plan to resolve the non-compliance. As a result of the ZYM B performance change, the reported risk is potentially a negative result of some API tests, misidentification of some species with API 20 Strep, NH API, Listeria API and Coryne API. Staph API is not affected by a risk of misidentification. As for ZYM API, since it was designed to search for enzymatic activities, there is no risk of error of identification of microorganisms. The simulation was done with the API databases of each gallery API involved, in order to understand the impact of a negative result of these tests on the final identification result. ### Update of the field action: UPDATED ON 07/28/2017, the company presented the completion report of the field action proving the sending of the safety notice to the client and destination of the nonconforming products.
  • Causa
    Discrepancies in identification related to identification galleries api. these discrepant identification results are due to false negative results in gallon tests revealed by the use of zym b reagent. the investigation confirmed a loss of performance due to light exposure after 3 months of life for zym b api, which could lead to to false negative results from biochemical tests using zym b reagent in all api galleries quoted below: strep api 20, coryne api, staph api, zym api, nh api, listeria api.
