The customer observed a false positive alinity i troponin result generated on an alinity i processing module (ai34060) for a 28-year-old male patient.The patient came to the emergency room and troponin timed studies were ordered.The following data was provided:
first timed result sid 26439958 = <2.7 ng/l
second timed result sid 26440077 = <2.7 ng/l
third timed result sid 26440328 = 62.2 ng/l, repeat on another analyzer (ai34061) = <2.7 ng/l
fourth timed result (on ai 34061) sid 26440856 = <2.7 ng/l
a corrected report was issued for the 3rd elevated troponin result.The specimen was hemolyzed on the elevated troponin; however, the rerun was on the same hemolyzed sample generating the result of <2.7 ng/l.There was no impact to patient management reported.
