Calibration was previously performed on (b)(6) 2022.Calibration was not performed 28 days after the previous calibration as recommended in product labeling.Qc from the date of the event was not provided.The alarm trace showed several liquid flow cleaning requests.The field service engineer (fse) found tubing that had fallen off the pulley and a bent mixing rod.Periodic maintenance was also performed.Based on the available data, a general reagent issue could be excluded.The service maintenance actions performed by the fse resolved the issue.
