There was an allegation of questionable elecsys hcg stat results from the cobas e 801 analytical unit.The initial result was 9.60 miu/ml.The patient's care provider questioned this result as the patient is on accutane, and it is required that they do not get pregnant, as this would be high-risk.The same sample was repeated on the same analyzer and another cobas e801 analyzer, and the results were <1 miu/ml with a data flag.On (b)(6) 2026, the same sample was repeated on the same analyzer and another cobas e801 analyzer, and the results were <1 miu/ml with a data flag.The repeat results were believed to be correct.
