Additional Manufacturer Narrative

|
Upon review of the alarm trace, 1-5 sample quality related alarms occurred per day.Depending on throughput, this could indicate a general pre-analytic sample handling issue in the laboratory.A general reagent issue can be excluded as calibration and controls were acceptable.The investigation determined the issue is consistent with high leukocyte concentration of the samples, leading to an accumulation of cells close to the sample surface.In samples with hyper-leukocytosis, the sample surface may show higher alp activity due to the presence of leukocytes, debris, and platelets.The investigation did not identify a product issue.
