There was an allegation of questionable benzodiazepines plus results for 2 patient samples on a cobas 6000 c (501) module compared to a cobas c303 module.Patient sample 1: the initial result was 200 mabs, performed on a cobas c303 module.The sample was repeated on the same module and the result was 201 mabs.The positive results were questioned due to a test flag in the instrument manager.The sample was repeated on the c501 module and the result was 9 mabs.The negative result from the c501 was reported to the provider but the customer is unsure which result is correct.Confirmation results (gcms) for patient sample 1: the nordiazepam result was 16 ng/ml with a cutoff of 10 ng/ml.The oxazepam result was 61 ng/ml with a cutoff of 10 ng/ml.The temazepam was 41 ng/ml with a cutoff of 10 ng/ml.Patient sample 2: the initial result was 358 mabs, performed on a cobas c303 module.The sample was repeated on the same module and the result was 362 mabs.The positive results were questioned due to a test flag in the instrument manager.The sample was repeated on the c501 module and the result was 27 mabs.Initially, the positive results were reported outside of the laborator, but a corrected report with the negative result was sent.The specimen type used for testing was urine.
