The initial reporter stated they received discrepant results for seven patient samples tested with tina-quant hemoglobin a1cdx gen.3 on a cobas c513 analyzer commercial system.The customer noticed a positive bias in patient hba1c results and repeated these using an hplc method and a second c513 analyzer.The first sample initially resulted in an hba1c value of 5.50 %.When repeated with the hplc method, the result was 4.80 %.When repeated on the second c513 analyzer, the result was 5.20 %.The second sample initially resulted in an hba1c value of 5.70 %.When repeated with the hplc method, the result was 5.00 %.When repeated on the second c513 analyzer, the result was 5.50 %.The third sample initially resulted in an hba1c value of 5.30 %.When repeated with the hplc method, the result was 4.70 %.When repeated on the second c513 analyzer, the result was 5.00 %.The fourth sample initially resulted in an hba1c value of 6.80 %.When repeated with the hplc method, the result was 6.20 %.When repeated on the second c513 analyzer, the result was 6.60 %.The fifth sample initially resulted in an hba1c value of 5.60 %.When repeated with the hplc method, the result was 5.00 %.When repeated on the second c513 analyzer, the result was 5.40 %.The sixth sample initially resulted in an hba1c value of 5.70 %.When repeated with the hplc method, the result was 4.90 %.When repeated on the second c513 analyzer, the result was 5.40 %.The seventh sample initially resulted in an hba1c value of 5.70 %.When repeated with the hplc method, the result was 5.10 %.When repeated on the second c513 analyzer, the result was 5.50 %.
