The initial reporter stated they received discrepant results for one patient sample tested with elecsys hcg stat on a cobas 6000 e 601 module.The sample initially resulted in an hcg value of 3 miu/ml.A nurse requested a repeat of the sample because the patient had a positive home pregnancy test.The sample was repeated twice, resulting in hcg values of 119.8 miu/ml and 116.0 miu/ml.The 119.8 miu/ml value was deemed correct.

Additional Manufacturer Narrative
|
|
Calibration signals were slightly lower than expected, but were consistent with the previous customer data.Quality controls were acceptable prior to sample measurement.A general reagent issue can be ruled out.Isolated non-reproducible results do not represent a general malfunction of the assay.Upon review of the alarm trace, multiple sample short and system reagent short alarms were observed.The investigation could not identify a product problem.The cause of the event could not be determined.Medwatch field d4 has been updated.
