Event Description

We get an "abnl assay" next to qc or patient results.When the report prints out, you get a flag "abnl assay".This flag means you cannot report the test for qc or patients.In order to fix this problem, we take the reagent flex off the analyzer and put it back on, and we rerun the qc or patient (because it flats randomly on the qc or patient result).
