The customer changed the sample probe, but the issue still occurred.The field service engineer ran checks on the analyzer.Precision studies were performed and did not show any anomalies.The investigation did not identify a product issue.There was no evidence of a general instrument or reagent related issue.The issue is consistent with insufficient pre-analytic sample handling.
