The calibration signals were lower than expected, but this had no influence on the issue.Quality controls were acceptable.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, no relevant alarms were observed.The instrument appeared dirty.The investigation could not identify a product problem.The cause of the event could not be determined.
