The investigation reviewed the calibration and qc data; the results were within specifications.The alarm trace did not indicate any issues.The clotting time of the patient sample was short at 20 minutes and the centrifugation speed seemed too high at 4000 rpm.The investigation determined the event was due to a preanalytic issue at the customer site (short clotting time and high centrifugation speed).Preanalytics are within the customer's responsibility.A general reagent problem was not present because the qc before the event was within specifications.
