The water quality is 3 s/cm; based on the technical specifications, the limits for water conductivity are < 1.5 s/cm.The customer changed the water source, which had high conductivity, and they are reviewing their preanalytical steps.The photometer lamp was last replaced on 23-sep-2025 and is to be exchanged after 800 hours in operating or standby mode.The investigation determined that a general reagent or analyzer problem was not present because the qc prior to the event was within ranges.The investigation was unable to determine a direct root cause as there was limited information available.The most likely root cause is a combination of different customer handling issues (pre-analytics, maintenance actions, water quality).
