Event or Problem Description
|
|
The initial reporter complained that they received multiple questionable test results from an unspecified number of urine patient samples tested on the urisys 1100 urine analyzer.The reporter stated that they would receive multiple high results for all parameters from the analyzer, and when compared with the urine chemistry test strip results, the results did not match and the analyzer results were incorrect.The reporter stated that it would occur randomly and might be "two in a row" and then the results would be "okay" for a few tests.No questionable result was reported outside of the laboratory as they would question the results when multiple positives occurred and they would run the patient sample until they got a result that matched the visual reading; they would also receive an error "e2 wrong strip".The reporter was not able to provide specific examples of parameters with questionable results.
