Calibration and control data were acceptable.A general reagent issue can be excluded since calibration and control data are within expectations.The investigation determined the instrument software had not been updated with a software version released in (b)(6) 2019 (version 06-03) and is using an older version.The missing software update can lead to the observed issue.
