The customer stated that they received erroneous results for one patient sample tested for the elecsys ca 15-3 ii assay (ca 15-3) on the cobas 6000 e 601 module (e601).The sample initially resulted as 30.08 u/ml.On (b)(6) 2018, the test was calibrated and control results were within range.The sample was then repeated on (b)(6) 2018, resulting as 32.51 u/ml.The 32.51 u/ml value was reported outside of the laboratory.The results was considered to be too high by the physician, so the sample was sent to another laboratory for testing on a cobas 8000 e 602 module (e602).The result from the e602 analyzer was 24 u/ml.The sample was tested a third time on the customer's e601 analyzer on (b)(6) 2018, resulting as 33.16 u/ml.No adverse events were alleged to have occurred with the patient.The first sample measurement performed on the e601 analyzer was measured with ca 15-3 reagent lot number 187902.The second and third sample measurements performed on the e601 analyzer were measured with ca 15-3 reagent lot number 209900.The reagent expiration dates were asked for, but not provided.
