Additional information (29 -october-2018): siemens further investigated the event and determined that the overall system condition is good and there was no indication of a system malfunction.The dade innovin reagent is lupus sensitive.Siemens found in the system backup file that the sample id (b)(6) was measured on 2018-10-05 four times in micro mode.The second measurement at 11:44 does not fit to the other measurement in regards to the result.All other measurements resulted in no coagulation and this could be a second measurement issue.Siemens determined that quality controls (qcs) recovered within expected specifications on the day of the event and that maintenance was performed regularly.The cause of the discordant, falsely elevated prothrombin time (pt) and pt international normalized (inr) results is unknown.Corrected information (29-october-2018): sample id (b)(6).The reagent is performing according to specifications.No further evaluation of this device is required.
