An outside the unites states customer contacted siemens to report that one falsely depressed creatinine (enzymatic, ecre_2) test result was obtained on one patient sample from an advia 1800 chemistry system.A siemens customer service engineer (cse) was dispatched to the customer site to inspect the system.The cse reviewed the available data, including the reaction monitor, and found that the spectrophometer lamp was producing unusual readings.The cse replaced the lamp, ran a lamp energy check, then the cell blank and repeated several patient samples with acceptable results.Siemens is investigating.
