The customer contacted a siemens customer care center (ccc) and reported that discordant complete blood count (cbc) parameters were obtained on eleven patient samples on an advia 2120 hematology system with dual aspirate autosampler.A siemens customer service engineer (cse) was dispatched to the site.The cse performed checks for hydraulics, optics, and leaks.The cbc results improved after replacing the sheath rinse.The cse verified acceptable system performance and ran quality controls (qc), which recovered within range.The probable cause of the event was a lack continuous flow of sheath rinse, which pulled air into the system and caused discordant results to be obtained.The system is performing according to specifications.No further evaluation of this device is required.

Discordant complete blood count (cbc) parameters were obtained on eleven patient samples on an advia 2120 hematology system with dual aspirate autosampler.The discordant parameters include white blood cells (wbc), red blood cells (rbc), hemoglobin (hgb), hematocrit (hct), mean corpuscular volume (mcv), mean corpuscular hemoglobin (mch), mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration (mchc), corpuscular hemoglobin concentration mean (chcm), red cell distribution width (rdw), hemoglobin distribution width (hdw), platelets (plt), mean platelet volume (mpv), neutrophils (neut), lymphocytes (lymph), monocytes (mono), basophils (baso), large unstained cells (luc), and nucleated red blood cells (nrbc).The discordant results were reported to the physician(s) and were questioned by the physician(s).The original samples were repeated on an alternate advia 2120 hematology system and were also repeated on the original system.The repeat results obtained were considered correct and matched the patients' clinical histories.There are no reports of patient intervention or adverse health consequences due to the discordant complete blood count (cbc) parameters.
