Event Description

The initial reporter stated they had an issue with mismatched data on the cobas u 411 urine analyzer.There appears to be some overlap of data as data measured from a first sample will be associated with a second sample.For example, sample a will run on the analyzer and results will be measured for this sample.Sample b is then run on the analyzer and no results will be measured.Sample c is then run on the analyzer and the results measured from sample b then appear for sample c.

Manufacturer Narrative

A review of the alarm information from the analyzer determined there was a software error and a measurement inconsistency error.The remedy for both errors requires a re-start of the system.If this is not done, this can lead to a sample mismatch.The system data logs were not available, so it could not be determined if the system was re-started.The field service engineer re-installed the software, verified the test strip sensor area was clean.Calibration and controls were processed successfully and no further issues have arisen.The investigation determined the service actions resolved the issue.
