The customer's analyzer was visually checked and showed a massively polluted test strip tray and analyzer housing.Retention material test strips of combur 10 ux lot 58170600, were placed on the customer's returned tray to check the correct test strip position.The retention material of lot 58170600 was measured on an iu (investigation unit) urisys 1100 analyzer and the customer's urisys 1100 analyzer s/n (b)(6).The customer's analyzer was also used for a measurement series with the installed iu tray.The iu analyzer was also used for a measurement series with the installed customer tray.The customer's analyzer was opened for investigation.All measurements were carried out with 0-native urine.The customer's analyzer tray was massively polluted, so the test strips cannot be placed in the correct position.The investigation results show a remission value difference between the iu analyzer and the test strip analyzer.The customer's analyzer with an installed iu tray shows normal results.Erythrocytes results showed a total of 10 % false positive results with customer equipment (analyzer & tray).For urobilinogen and erythrocytes results, the customer's equipment showed significantly darker remission values, which leads to partly borderline results to positive ranges.The test strip cannot be correctly positioned onto the customer tray, due to the pollution and can cause discrepant results.The investigation found the customer's test strip tray was massively polluted, which caused the alleged issue.The investigation determined the issue was caused by customer mishandling.
