The calibration was last performed on 24-may-2024 and it was acceptable.The qc recovery was within the customer's established ranges.No indication of a performance issue with the reagent.The alarm trace did not show any abnormality on the date of the event.The centrifuge time was 3500 rpm and the speed was 5 min.The centrifuge time might be too short per the tube manufacturer¿s recommended guidelines.The field service engineer indicated that the reagent pack was nearing the end of the onboard stability.He then replaced the reagent pack.The service action (replacing the mg2 reagent pack) resolved the issue.No further issues were reported afterward.
