A customer contacted the ortho clinical diagnostics (ortho) technical solution center (tsc) to report higher than expected sodium (na+) results were obtained from a vitros performance verifier using vitros chemistry products na+ slides lot: 4267-1147-8163 and lot: 4254-1134-2446 on a vitros 5600 integrated system.Vitros na+ lot: 4267-1147-8163: vitros pv i lot: v1665 results of 152.2, 148.3, 145.5, 140.6, >250.0, >250.0, >250.0, 201.4, 200.0, 199.7, 198.8, 198.5, 198.3, 197.6, 197.2, 197.0, 196.0, 194.7, 193.9, 140.1, 140.0, 139.8, 139.5, 139.5, 138.8, 138.6, 138.5, 138.1, 137.3 and 137.0 mmol/l vs an expected result of 115.4 mmol/l vitros na+ lot: 4254-1134-2446: vitros pv i lot: v1665 result of 138.9 mmol/l vs an expected result of 115.4 mmol/l biased results of the magnitude and direction observed may lead to inappropriate physician action if they were to occur undetected on patient samples.The higher-than-expected vitros na+ results were obtained from a quality control fluid and were not reported from the laboratory.There has been no reported allegation of patient harm as a result of this event.This report corresponds to ortho clinical diagnostics inc (ortho) complaint numbers: (b)(4).
