An outside united states (ous) customer contacted a siemens customer care center to report falsely elevated concentrated carbon dioxide (co2_c) results were obtained on 2 patient samples on an advia chemistry xpt instrument.A siemens customer service engineer (cse) was dispatched to the customer¿s site.During this visit, the cse removed the vacuum pump, inspected the diaphragms and cleaned beneath the leaf springs.A probe calibration was performed, and the mixer heights were checked and adjusted.The peristaltic pump tubing was replaced on drain pump 1 (cdp-1) and drain pump 2 (cdp-2).Aspiration checks were performed on the reaction tray wash unit (wud) and the dilution tray wash unit (dwud).The vacuum valve 1 (voev1) and the vacuum valve 2 (voev2) were stripped and cleaned.The vacuum tank and reaction tray (rrv) cuvette segments were removed, and the bath oil was cleaned.The cse cleaned the wash ports, performed a shutdown wash and a cell blank, and ran quality controls (qcs), which recovered within ranges.The cause of the erroneous results is unknown.The instrument is performing according to specifications.No further evaluation of this device is required.

Siemens filed the initial mdr 2432235-2025-00018 on 13-jan-2025.Additional information (29-jan-2025): in addition to the service actions described in the initial report, a siemens customer service engineer (cse) also replaced the 1mm l ring seals on the sampling pump, 7mm seals on the dilution probe discharge pump and the reagent pump 1 and cleaned the cuvettes.Siemens further evaluated the event and concluded that hardware issues potentially contributed to the falsely elevated concentrated carbon dioxide (co2_c) results.The component code and the investigation conclusions code in section h6 were updated to reflect the additional information.The instrument is performing according to specifications.No further evaluation of this device is required.
