There was an allegation of questionable pth results with one patient sample on a cobas pure e 402 analytical unit.The initial result was 25.8 pg/ml using the secondary tube.The repeat result was 523 pg/ml using the primary tube.The second repeat result was 609 pg/ml using the same secondary tube.The third repeat result was 571 pg/ml using a different secondary tube.The initial result did not fit the patient's clinical picture, therefore, the repeat testings were performed.The repeat results were deemed correct.

Additional Manufacturer Narrative
|
|
A general reagent problem was excluded as the qc prior to the event was within ranges.A review of the alarm trace showed few sample clot alarms at the time of sample pipetting.Additionally, the initial low result was flagged with a sample air bubble detected alarm.Note, bubbles on the sample surface may lead to mis-pipetting and non-reproducible results (also in combination with tilted tubes and liquid on the tube wall).The investigation did not identify a product problem.
