Event or Problem Description

We received an allegation of questionable results for 2 patients' samples tested with vitamin d total g3 (vitamin d3) assay on a cobas 6000 e601.On (b)(6) 2023 the customer ran the patients' samples and reported the following results: sample 1: run 1: 120 ng/ml test, rerun 1: 7.55 ng/ml, rerun 2: 6.55 ng/ml.Sample 2: run 1: 120 ng/ml test, rerun 1: 23.20 ng/ml, rerun 2: 24.35 ng/ml.The results of 120 ng/ml test were reported outside of the laboratory but they did not match the patient's clinical picture.So it was repeated.The result that was deemed to be correct for sample 1 was 7.55 ng/ml.The vitamin d3 lot number was 662797.The expiration date was not provided.
