A laboratory user reported on (b)(6) 2022 that a rule to suppress duplicate ordered tests and set the run count is only firing on the second order containing the collection date/time.The rule, as it is written, should fire on both orders.Initial investigation of the instrument manager specimen management module event log was unable to determine why the rule does not fire on the first transmission.There was no patient harm due to the orders still being processed however additional reagent was used on the duplicate order.Investigation has been unable to reproduce the issue and therefore has not yet been determined if this is a malfunction of the instrument manager software.
