The initial reporter received questionable lipc lipase colorimetric assay results for one patient tested on two cobas 8000 c (701) modules.It was unknown which cobas 8000 c (701) module was used for each lipase result.The customer provided the serial number of one cobas 8000 c (701) module, 19r1-07.On 24-feb-2022, the patient's initial lipase result was 202 u/l.Due to an internal laboratory rule, the sample was repeated on the same analyzer and the patient's lipase result was 201 u/l.The customer reported one of the patient's lipase results outside the laboratory.The patient's physician didn't trust the reported lipase results and requested a new sample to be tested.On 25-feb-2022, the patient went to a different laboratory and had a new sample collected.The patient's new sample had a lipase result of 36 u/l on an unknown methodology.The patient questioned the lipase results between the two laboratories.On 26-feb-2022, the customer performed repeat testing with the patient's initial sample on both cobas 8000 c (701) modules and had a lipase result of 203 u/l.The patient had a new sample collected and tested on the initial cobas 8000 c (701) module, and the patient's lipase result was 40 u/l.
