Upon review of the alarm trace, no relevant alarms were observed.The last calibration done on 09-jun-2022 had an error.Quality control recovery was within specifications.On review of the reaction kinetics of the questionable measurement, it was observed that there was no increase in absorbance signal, which is an indicator that no or little sample was pipetted.The investigation determined the issue to be consistent with incorrect pre-analytic sample handling.
