the initial results were 337 µmol/l (serum) and 314 µmol/l (heparin plasma).The sample was tested in another laboratory on another module (cobas c 503), and the result was approximately 60 µmol/l
the sample was repeated on the same module as the initial results, and the result was 300 µmol/l.Patient 2:
the initial results were 338 µmol/l and 359 µmol/l (serum and heparin plasma).The results were obtained on 2 different cobas c 703 modules.A new sample was tested at a different laboratory on another module (cobas c 501), and the result was 87 µmol/l.A third sample was tested on one of the same modules as the initial sample, and the result was approximately 330 µmol/l.Patient 3:
the initial result was 215 µmol/l.It was alleged that a new sample was tested at another laboratory, but the result was not provided.
