The initial reporter stated they received discrepant results for one patient sample tested with albt2 tina-quant albumin gen.2 on two cobas 6000 c (501) module analyzers.No incorrect results were reported outside of the laboratory.The sample was processed on a modular pre-analytics system and an aliquot of the sample was tested on c 501 serial number (b)(4), resulting in a microalbumin value of 188.1 mg/l.The sample was repeated on c 501 analyzer serial number (b)(4), resulting in a microalbumin value of 138.8 mg/l accompanied by a data flag (>proz) indicating the measurement was outside of the prozone limit programmed for the application.The sample was automatically repeated by the same analyzer using a decreased sample volume, resulting in a value of 6421.4mg/l accompanied by a data flag.The sample was manually diluted 1:2 and 1:5 and repeated on each analyzer.On c 501 serial number (b)(4), the 1:2 diluted sample initially resulted in a microalbumin value of 610.7 mg/l accompanied by a data flag.The sample was repeated on the same analyzer at a decreased sample volume, resulting in a raw value of 3860.0 mg/l, which calculates to a final value of 7720 mg/l when accounting for the dilution factor.On c 501 serial number (b)(4), the 1:5 diluted sample initially resulted in a microalbumin value of 786.9 mg/l accompanied by a data flag.The sample was repeated on the same analyzer at a decreased sample volume, resulting in a raw value of 1449.2 mg/l, which calculates to a final value of 7246 mg/l when accounting for the dilution factor.On c 501 serial number (b)(4), the 1:2 diluted sample initially resulted in a microalbumin value of 482.6 mg/l accompanied by a >proz data flag.The sample was repeated on the same analyzer at a decreased sample volume, resulting in a raw value of 3812.9 mg/l, which calculates to a final value of 7625.8 mg/l when accounting for the dilution factor.On c 501 serial number (b)(4), the 1:5 diluted sample initially resulted in a microalbumin value of 727.3 mg/l accompanied by a data flag.The sample was repeated on the same analyzer at a decreased sample volume, resulting in a raw value of 1513.6 mg/l, which calculates to a final value of 7568 mg/l when accounting for the dilution factor.
