Manufacturer Narrative

The customer changed the cassette, ran calibration which passed and cleaned the instrument.Qc was rerun but the issue was not resolved.The customer stopped using the instrument and is running patient samples on the clinitek instrument.The cassette was requested for investigation; however, the customer has discarded the actual cassette in use.The customer intends to send a different cassette with the same lot number for investigation.The field service engineer (fse) found a sample tube leaking in a cell.The fse replaced the tube going to the sample probe and rebuilt syringes and cleaned the system.Calibration, qc, mechanism checks and diagnostic checks were all acceptable.The instrument has been working well since the service visit.

Event Description
