The initial reporter stated they received questionable results for two samples from one patient tested with the elecsys cortisol ii assay on a cobas e 801 analytical unit (serial number).An interference is suspected as the cobas e 801 results did not agree with the clinical status of the patient.On (b)(6) 2023 a sample from the patient resulted in a cortisol ii value of 1174 mmol/l.On (b)(6) 2023 a sample from the patient resulted in a cortisol ii value of 1043 mmol/l.The samples were also tested with a competitor method, resulting in a cortisol value of 600 nmol/l.No specific date was provided.The questionable results were reported outside of the laboratory.
