The initial reporter stated that an unspecified number of patient samples showed leukocyte results from the u 411 analyzer that were different from values observed upon microscopic evaluation of the samples.Results were manually edited on the u 411 analyzer to 100/ul or 500/ul.An example was provided for one patient sample which had discrepant leukocyte results.No incorrect results were reported outside of the laboratory.The sample initially resulted in an unknown value for leukocytes, but this value was likely negative.Microscopic evaluation of the sample determined it contains 21-30 lukocytes/hpf.The result on the analyzer was edited to 500/ul.The test strip lot number and expiration date were requested, but not provided.
