The lab technician found that the previous patient slide in the sms (patient a) showed 90% of nonspecific lineage of blasts.The questioned slide showed 11% of blast also from nonspecific lineage of cells.Field application specialist (fas) collected patient result data from both instruments.Quality control and other patient results were not affected.The evidence reasonably suggests that carryover from previous patient with 90% of blast caused that the false 11% blast count in the reported patient.This was as a result of a bent dispense probe.Mod (b)(4) was performed on 21-feb-2020 to replace the bent probe.(b)(4).
