The initial reporter stated they received questionable results for 11 patient samples tested with the elecsys vitamin d total gen.2 assay on a cobas 6000 e 601 module.The reporter changed the reagent pack, calibrated it, and ran controls.The samples were then repeated.Data was provided for 6 patient samples and of these, two had discrepant vitamin d results which are reportable as a malfunction.No incorrect patient results were reported outside of the laboratory.The first sample initially resulted with a vitamin d value of 101.9 nmol/l, which repeated as 62.57 nmol/l.The second sample initially resulted with a vitamin d value of 102.6 nmol/l, which repeated as 65.72 nmol/l.The e 601 analyzer serial number is (b)(4).
