The customer noted non-reproducible creatine kinase-muscle brain isoform (access ck-mb) patient results for one (1) female patient.The customer repeat tested the sample several times on the same unicel dxi 600 access immunoassay system and obtained erratic results.The customer repeat tested the sample on an alternate unicel dxi 600 access immunoassay system (serial number (b)(4)) and obtained lower results, within the normal reference range of the assay.The customer obtained a second sample from the patient and tested the sample on the alternate unicel dxi 600 access immunoassay system (serial number (b)(4)) and obtained lower results, within the normal reference range of the assay.There was no report of patient injury or change in patient treatment associated with this event.All system parameters (including quality control (qc), access ck-mb calibration, access ck-mb precision run and system check) were within assay and instrument specifications.Samples are collected in lithium heparin gel separator tubes.Samples are centrifuged at 2600 relative centrifugal force (rcf) for ten (10) minutes at room temperature the customer did not note any issues with sample integrity.
