Additional Manufacturer Narrative
The field service engineer performed hardware and precision checks with acceptable results.The investigation determined the issue was consistent with a high leukocyte concentration in the samples leading to an accumulation of cells close to the plasma surface.Falsely high ldh and alp values can occur if blood cells or cell debris are not properly removed in the pre-analytical sampling process.Correct pre-analytic sample handling is within the customer's responsibility.There is no evidence to suggest a malfunction of the device.
