Event Description
|
The initial reporter complained of false-positive nitrite results for an unspecified number of patient's urine samples tested with chemstrip 10 ux urine test strips on a urisys 1100 analyzer serial number (b)(4).The customer initially believed that the error was due to a software update on the meter, new software version 5.71.The initial nitrite result from the meter was positive, but upon visual inspection of the test strip, the nitrite result was negative.The results in question were not reported outside of the laboratory.The chemstrip 10 ux urine test strip lot number was 39664803 with an expiration date of 31-jul-2020.The customer stated that they have had the same problem with other lots of test strips, but no other specific lot numbers were provided.
