Event or Problem Description

The initial reporter stated they received discrepant results for an unspecified number of patient samples tested with the elecsys tsh assay ver.2 on a cobas e 411 analyzer (rack system).Results will be low and then higher when repeated on a second analyzer.The reporter provided an example of data for one patient sample with discrepant tsh results.The reporter stated they had been having issues with tsh calibration and controls.The sample initially resulted in a tsh value of < 0.005 miu/ml with a data flag and this value was reported outside of the laboratory.The sample was repeated since patient results were recovering low.When repeated on the same analyzer, the tsh result was 2.49 miu/ml.The repeat value was deemed correct.The tsh reagent lot number was 653309.The reagent expiration date was requested, but not provided.
