Qc was acceptable.The technician repeated the sample with a manual dilution of 1:10; the sample was repeated at normal sample volume over 2 hours later with the sample sitting out during that time at room temperature.Product labeling does not recommend dilutions for patient samples and states: "due to possible evaporation effects, samples, calibrators and controls on the analyzers should be analyzed/measured within 2 hours." the investigation determined the event was due to customer handling issues (dilution and sample).
