Additional Manufacturer Narrative

No quality controls were measured prior to the event.Controls measured shortly after the event were within range.A general analyzer or reagent issue was not present at the time of the event.No relevant alarms occurred.Sample centrifugation time and force may have been higher than recommended by the tube manufacturer.The customer used a fixed angle centrifuge, which may cause gel layer separation to become diagonal, increasing risk of sample probe contamination.The investigation could not identify a product problem.The cause of the event could not be determined.A pre-analytic sample handling issue could not be excluded.
