Upon investigation with the facility, it was determined that when the driver configuration option "by test code sub id" is enabled on the epic driver and the "suppress unsolicited results for ordered samples" configuration option is also enabled, the driver intentionally uses the "by test code sub id" so that all tests are built into the result message that is sent to the laboratory information system (lis).After reviewing the driver configuration options that were enabled at the facility, only the "suppress unsolicited results for ordered samples" was enabled, not the "by test code sub id" option.Because hemolysis test results are associated with a test code sub id, the hemolysis results were not being included in the first message being sent to the lis.This is not a malfunction of instrument manager medical device.This incident is due to the misconfiguration of the epic driver within the driver settings by the facility.A patient impact statement has not yet been received by data innovations and therefore patient impact has been unable to be determined.The investigation is ongoing at the time of this report.

A facility reported on 9 september 2022 that when multiple test panels are run on the same specimen, and the sample is hemolyzed, the hemolysis result was not being received in the first message that is sent from instrument manager medical device to epic.This causes results to auto verify in epic without the hemolysis value which may result in certain analytes being reported when they should not be when there is high hemolysis.
