The initial reporter received discrepant sodium (na), potassium (k), albumin, calcium, creatinine, crp, total protein, uric acid results for two patient samples with a cobas 8000 cobas ise module.The samples were processed on a modular pre-analytics (mpa) system and then tested on the cobas 8000 cobas ise module with the following results.Sample id (b)(6): on (b)(6) 2021: the initial na result was 108 mmol/l.The repeated na result was 109 mmol/l.The initial k result was 3.4 mmol/l.The initial albumin result was 26 g/l.The initial creatinine result was 84 umol/l.The initial total protein result was 51 g/l.The initial uric acid result was 0.28 mmol/l.The initial crp result was 3 mg/l.On (b)(6) 2021: the second repeated na result was 139 mmol/l.The repeated k result was 4.4 mmol/l.The repeated albumin result was 34 g/l.The repeated creatinine result was 110 umol/l.The repeated total protein result was 66 g/l.The repeated uric acid result was 0.37 mmol/l.The repeated crp result was 4 mg/l.Sample id (b)(6).On (b)(6) 2021: the initial na result was 107 mmol/l.The repeated na result was 108 mmol/l.The initial k result was 3.3 mmol/l.The initial calcium result was 1.9 mmol/l.The initial albumin result was 30 g/l.The initial creatinine result was 58 umol/l.The initial total protein result was 50 g/l.On (b)(6) 2021: the second repeated na result was 142 mmol/l.The repeated k result was 4.3 mmol/l.The repeated calcium was 2.5 mmol/l.The repeated albumin result was 41 g/l.The repeated creatinine result was 81 umol/l.The repeated total protein result was 68 g/l.The initial results were from hitachi cups from aliquots made by the mpa.The repeat results were from the primary tube.The questionable results were reported outside of the laboratory.The reagent lot numbers and expiration dates were requested but not provided.
