Manufacturer Narrative

There were two patient samples results that were considered incorrect by the customer.The customer suspected the results because they did not match the patients' clinical history.One patient result had an instrument generated message alerting to possible iv contamination so it was immediately rerun and corrected.The second patient was not rerun until the following day and the results at that time were significantly lower for the hgb result resulting in the patient receiving a blood transfusion.As a result of the discordant result the transfusion was reportedly delayed one day.Information regarding the chronology of events and the impact to the patient have been requested but not provided by the customer.There is not enough information to identify the assignable cause or to confirm that the delay of treatment occurred as a direct result of an instrument malfunction.Bec internal identifier - case-(b)(4).
