The reported allegation was verified as a software issue in cobas infinity.It was found that the software was not handling the repetition number of embedded results properly after the repetition was requested by a user that had missing permissions due to a software issue.The issues of the software not correctly assigning the permissions to embedded tests from a cobas e-flow and not correctly handling repetitions have been identified and are currently being addressed.The issue was identified as only occurring from 24-mar to 30-mar-2022.No further occurrences have been identified.The current workaround is to remove the permissions for the whole test group, including the e-flow test and assigning the tests one by one.Additionally, it is recommended to change the "automatic result for repetitions" parameter to the default value "no result" for all configured cobas e-flow tests.The issue was solved by editing the main test and creating a new version on 10-apr-2022.
