The calibration results were acceptable.A field service engineer (fse) evaluated the instrument and was unable to determine a root cause for the issue.The fse indicated that a sample issue could be present.The customer diluted the patient samples using the prescribed diluent and dilution factor; valid assay results were obtained.A further investigation was not possible as the patient sample is not available for investigation.
