The field service engineer (fse) decontaminated the instrument.The customer has had no further issues.Calibration and qc were acceptable.A sample aspiration error was observed on the alarm trace data.Product labeling states: "reactive in the elecsys anti-hcv ii assay.All initially reactive samples should be retested in duplicate with the elecsys anti-hcv ii assay.Redetermination of samples with an initial coi = 1.00 can be performed automatically.Repeatedly reactive samples must be confirmed according to supplementary algorithms.A cobas e flow is a procedure programmed into the system to enable a fully automated sequence of measurements and the calculation of assay combinations to perform decision algorithms." single false positive results can occur and are covered by the specificity claim.A general reagent issue can be excluded.The reagent performed within specification.
