The customer's sample handling was ok.Per product labeling, "intralipid does not interfere in the tested concentration range up to 2000 mg/dl intralipid (corresponding to an approximate l index of 2000).There is poor correlation between the l index (corresponds to turbidity) and the triglycerides concentration.Pseudohyponatremia may be seen with the lipemic specimens as a result of fluid displacement." the investigation did not identify a product problem.
