Event or Problem Description
|
|
The initial reporter received questionable total protein (tpuc3) assay results from one patient csf sample on a cobas 8000 c 502 module.The initial result tested on the cobas c 502 was not provided and was accompanied by a data flag.The first repeated result tested on the cobas c 502 was 162 mg/l.A new sample was collected and sent to another laboratory to test with a nephelometer, and the results were not provided.Because the nephelometer results do not match the repeated results on the cobas c 502, the initial sample was re-tested on the cobas c 502.The second repeated result on the initial sample was 911 mg/l.It was alleged that the second cobas c 502 repeated results matched the nephelometer results.The reagent lot number was 63953401 and the expiration date was 31-aug-2023.
