The initial reporter stated they received a questionable result for one patient sample tested with benzodiazepines plus on a cobas 6000 c (501) module (serial number (b)(4)).The sample initially resulted in a benzodiazepines value of -287 mabs (negative) and this value was reported outside of the laboratory.The sample was automatically repeated by the analyzer, resulting in a value of 87 mabs (positive).The sample was repeated an additional time, resulting in a value of 88 mabs (positive).The positive value of 87 mabs was deemed correct by the customer and a corrected report was issued.The sample was repeated using the gc/ms benzodiazepines method, and the result was negative.
