Event or Problem Description

|
The customer reported that falsely low allergen specific ige results were obtained on multiple patient samples on an immulite 2000 xpi system.The erroneous results were reported to the physician(s).Depending on the sample, the sample was rerun for allergen specific ige on an alternate system either one, two, or three days after the initial sample was run, and the results recovered higher.One of the samples was run again for allergen specific ige three days later on a second alternate system, confirming the higher results.A corrected report was only issued for the sample which had been repeated twice, in which case the higher results were reported, as the correct results, to the physician(s).There are no known reports of patient intervention or adverse health consequences due to the falsely low allergen specific ige results.
