The customer submitted both samples for investigation where the result from the original sample ((b)(6) 2022) was 9.9 ug/ml and the result from the 2nd sample ((b)(6) 2022) was 14.1 ug/ml.Calibration and qc were acceptable.The reaction monitors provided were for the repeat result from the original sample and the 2nd sample.The reaction monitor was not provided for the original result in question.Since calibration and qc were acceptable, both a general reagent and instrument issue can be excluded.The investigation determined the event was consistent with a sample pipetting issue which may be related to a pre-analytical issue.
