The initial reporter received questionable trigl triglycerides results from an estimated minimum of 50 patient samples tested on two cobas 6000 c501 (ul) v (module 1 and module 2).The reporter was able to provide one patient sample with discrepant results: the initial result was not reported outside of the laboratory.The reporter stated that the qc would not pass and there was a high number of patient sample results with an invalidating data flag or very low results, prompting the rerun of previous patient samples on their other c501 module.The reporter stated that they noticed the issue after service was performed on their deionized (di) water system.The initial result from module 1 was 153 mg/dl.The repeat result from module 2 was 212 mg/dl.The repeat result could not be determined as both analyzers were affected by the water source issue.
