Inspection of the data showed that on the date of the event and around the time of occurrence, some errors were reported related to sample fill (aspirate sample from the tube) or tube empty messages.The cause was consistent with a sample tube being empty or not having sufficient sample volume.This would indicate a user error of incorrect sample handling.The investigation did not identify a product problem.
