Event or Problem Description

|
The initial reporter received questionable elecsys b-crosslaps/serum (b-crosslaps) results from one patient sample tested on the cobas 8000 core unit.On (b)(6) 2024, the initial result from the analyzer was <10 pg/ml.The first repeat result was consistent.The reporter noted that the patient has osteoporosis and secondary hyperparathyroidism and that her other bone markers (n-mid and tp1np) were both within the reference range.The reporter questioned the initial result and sent the patient sample for further testing using a domestic platform with chemiluminescence immunoassay (clia) as the laboratory method.On (b)(6) 2024, the second repeat result from the domestic platform using the clia method was 34 pg/ml (reference range <1017 pg/ml).
