The investigation included a review of the data set provided by the customer: the glucose hk gen.3 calibration and qc results are within the specified ranges.The alarm trace contains clot-detected alarms.These are indicators of possible poor sample quality.The customer confirmed that they allow the patient samples to clot for 20 to 30 minutes before centrifugation.The investigation determined that clotting may be incomplete in 20 minutes.The customer confirmed that the cobas integra 400 plus analyzer's results were correct, and that, upon consultation with the patient's doctor, the elevated results were due to a side effect of the patient's medication.The investigation did not identify a product problem.
