Additional Manufacturer Narrative
|
|
The customer stated that they did not pay attention to test unit settings when deleting the application and subsequently downloading the updated version in the instrument software.The result obtained in the first measurement after applying the conversion factor corresponds quite well with the results of the second laboratory and the repeat measurement on the same device.The investigation determined the issue is consistent with a user handling error.There is no device related issue.
