The initial reporter stated they received discrepant results for one patient sample tested with the elecsys vitamin d total gen.2 assay on a cobas e 411 immunoassay analyzer.No incorrect values were reported outside of the laboratory.The sample initially resulted with a vitamin d value of > 100.00 ng/ml.The sample was diluted 1:2 and repeated, resulting with a value of > 100.00 ng/ml.The sample was diluted 1:4 and repeated, resulting with a raw value of 66.45 ng/ml, which calculates to a final value of 265.8 ng/ml when accounting for the dilution factor.On (b)(6) 2020, the same was diluted 1:2 and repeated, resulting with a value of > 100.00 ng/ml accompanied by a data flag.The sample was sent to another laboratory for testing with a different method and the vitamin d result was 98.9 ng/ml on (b)(6) 2020.The e411 analyzer serial number was (b)(4).
