The field service engineer found that the sample probe was partially clogged.The probe was removed, manually cleaned, and reinstalled.The customer checked the instrument and had no further issues related to hba1c results.The investigation determined that since the sample probe was found to be partially clogged, the event is consistent with a general preanalytical issue.Correct pre-analytic sample handling is within the customer's responsibility.There is no evidence to suggest a malfunction of the device.
