The initial reporter stated they received discrepant results for two samples collected from the same patient and tested with d-di tina-quant d-dimer gen.2 on a cobas 6000 c (501) module.No incorrect results were reported outside of the laboratory.The reporter stated that since the patient was recovering, was stable, and il6 values dropped from a previous value of 9.76 (no units provided) to 2.15, it was expected that d-dimer values would drop as well.The first sample resulted in a d-dimer value of 4006 ng/ml when tested on the c 501 analyzer.The sample was repeated on a vidas analyzer, resulting in a value of 278.39 ng/ml.The second sample resulted in a d-dimer value of 3848 ng/ml when tested on the c 501 analyzer.The sample was repeated on a vidas analyzer, resulting in a value of 284.81.This sample was then diluted 1:5 and repeated on the c 501 analyzer, resulting in a value of 7049 ng/ml on (b)(6) 2021.The sample was also diluted 1:10 and repeated on the c 501 analyzer, resulting in a value of 6904 ng/ml on (b)(6) 2021.The third sample resulted in a d-dimer value of 3709 ng/ml when tested on the c 501 analyzer on (b)(6) 2021.When repeated on a vidas analyzer, this sample resulted in a value of 346.36 ng/ml.The sample was also repeated on a horiba pentra 400 system, resulting in a value of 294 ng/ml.The serial number of the c 501 analyzer is (b)(4).
