A customer contacted the ortho clinical diagnostics (ortho) technical solution center (tsc) to report a discrepant result was obtained between vitros eci q system and laboratory information system (lis).Vitros testo result of 15.3 ng/dl vs the expected result of 441.405 ng/dl biased results of the magnitude and direction observed may lead to inappropriate physician action if they were to occur undetected.The erroneous result of 15.3 ng/dl was reported from the laboratory.However, no treatment was initiated, altered, or stopped based on the reported result and a corrected report of 441.405 ng/dl was later issued for the patient.There was no allegation of patient harm as a result of this event.This report corresponds to ortho clinical diagnostics inc (ortho) complaint numbers (b)(4) and reportability assessment (b)(4).

Additional Manufacturer Narrative
|
|
The investigation has determined that a discrepant result was obtained between vitros eci q system and laboratory information system (lis).The discrepant result appears to be related to the configuration of the vitros eci system, that was reporting vitros testo results in units of nmol/l while the customer's non-vitros lis was reporting the same numerical results in units of ng/ml.Per wki53815, health and safety reportability guidelines for clinical laboratory products: discordant results have occurred; however, there is no allegation or indication that erroneous results have occurred on the ortho system.Investigation has determined that the ortho system is operating as intended.
