Siemens healthcare diagnostics inc.(siemens) analyzed the data provided by the customer to determine the cause of the discordant results on the advia 2120i hematology system with single aspirate and found no issues.Siemens informed the lab manager that sample handling errors potentially contributed to the discordant results and the lab manager accepted this rationale.The customer has informed siemens that three patients were affected by this event and at least one of the patient sample's original tube was drawn from the arm with an i.V.Running and the sample was diluted, causing the low hgb results.The patient's blood was redrawn from the other arm and correct results were obtained.A siemens headquarters support center (hsc) specialist further investigated the event and determined the cause of the discordant results was due to a sample integrity issue.The system is performing according to specifications.No further evaluation of this system is required.Mdr 2432235-2017-00571, mdr 2432235-2017-00572, mdr 2432235-2017-00573, mdr 2432235-2017-00574 and mdr 2432235-2017-00575 were filed for the same event.

Event or Problem Description

Discordant, falsely low hemoglobin (hgb) results were obtained on a patient sample on two advia 2120i hematology systems.The same sample was rerun on one of the advia 2120i system, resulting lower.A discordant, falsely low hgb result was reported to the physician, who questioned the result.Other parameters in the complete blood count (cbc) were also affected, but it is unknown whether these results were reported to the physician and the correct results for the other parameters are unknown.The patient blood was redrawn and run on both systems, resulting in higher hgb results.A corrected report was provided to the physician.There are no known reports of patient intervention or adverse health consequences due to the discordant results.
