Calibration and controls were acceptable.A general reagent issue can be excluded.Camera images from previously measured samples showed an abnormality in one of the sample tubes which appeared to be part of a cap.This may have hindered probe positioning.The investigation determined the issue is consistent with insufficient pre-analytic sample handling.
