The investigation determined that lower than expected vitros creatinine (crea) patient sample results were obtained on two crea slide lots when tested on a vitros 5600 integrated system.The results were discordant compared to crea results obtained from non-vitros (labtest and roche) methods.There are no details provided regarding the patient diagnosis, medication list, or other assay results.Other than the data provided by the ortho laboratory specialist (ls), there has been no additional investigation of the samples, reagent or analyzer.Therefore, a crea reagent issue, an instrument issue or a sample related issue cannot be ruled out as potential contributors to this event.The ortho ls is expected to go on site and further investigate.No conclusions can be made at this time.The crea results from the two non-vitros methods were comparable and considered the ¿expected¿ results.Therefore, the lower than expected vitros crea results will be conservatively reported.
