A specific root cause could not be determined based on the provided information.Based upon the information provided, calibration and quality controls are acceptable.A general reagent or hardware issue could be excluded.The patient sample was collected from the same intravenous catheter in which dopamine was administered.Investigations have determined that high catecholamine concentrations can lead to falsely low crep results.Dopamine and dobutamine at unusually high concentrations may interfere with peroxide based tests.In cases when high dosages of catecholamines are administered, no relevant interference could be found if the blood sample was not taken near the location of administration of catecholamine.
