The customer maintenance was executed per the specifications.The centrifugation duration was short.A general reagent or analyzer problem can be excluded because the qc prior to the event was within the ranges, and no relevant alarm occurred.The investigation did not identify a product problem.The cause of the event was consistent with a sample quality issue.
