Event or Problem Description

|
The initial reporter complained of discrepant results for one patient sample tested for digoxin (dig) on a cobas pro c 503 analytical unit.The initial result of the first sample tested on the c503 module was < 0.3¿g/l.This result was reported outside of the laboratory where it was questioned by the doctor as it was not plausible.The sample was repeated on a cobas c6000 system with a result of < 0.3¿g/l.The initial result for the second sample (new blood drawn on 28-oct-2022) tested on the c503 module was < 0.3¿g/l.The sample was repeated on a cobas c6000 system with a result of < 0.3¿g/l.The patient was sent to another laboratory where a new sample was obtained and the result from a cobas 8000 system was 0.76 ug/l.A third sample was obtained on 03-nov-2022.A serum sample and a lithium heparin sample were obtained at the same time.The serum sample was tested on the c503 module with a result of 0.3 ug/l.The lithium heparin sample was sent to the other laboratory and the result from a cobas 8000 system was 1.0 ug/l.The high results from the other laboratory (1.0 g/l and 0.76 g/l) were considered to be correct.The c503 module serial number was (b)(4).The serial numbers for the cobas 8000 and the cobas 6000 systems were requested but not provided.
