The customer had an incorrectly written rule (configuration) which was changing a result of >5000 to <10.The rule did not contain an "is numeric" operator, so when a result is received with the ">", it causes the rule to fail.This is not a device malfunction, it is an incorrect configuration by the user.Due to the changed result being very far out of range, this was caught by a lab technician prior to being posted to a patients chart.The lab technicians are monitoring each result while the rule is being corrected to catch any erroneous results.The customer is continuing to investigate previous results from other patients where this configuration was present to determine if any patients were harmed.At this time, there is no report of patient harm.
