From three incidents in Denmark and Sweden, comparison studies on patient blood samples carried out for quality assurance demonstrated that creatinine measurements as determined on analyzers could be underestimated with up to 28% as compared with measurements from COBAS. The underestimated creatinine occurs specifically, when measurements on Autocheck 6+ level 1 (also known as S7835 Autocheck modu…
Negative drift on QC during in-use lifetime of CREA membranes can be observed.
Reported calibration errors are not displayed on the analyzers parameter bar screen or on the patient results when the calibration number is between 32768 - 65535 and 98303 - 131070. This may cause the operator to perform measurements and obtain questionable results.
Tube may break. The firm discovered that the yellowish/white tubes used in their blood gas analyzers (ABL800 Flex Series) were manufactured incorrectly. These tubes have the potential to break off at the black plastic connectors. The breakage may occur during the installation of the tubes or after a short time in use.
In some situations pre-registered patient data is not reset when leaving the pre-registration mode in the software. This occurs when a Safe Pico blood sampler associated with a specific patient is pre-registered in the analyzer by scanning a barcode.
Incorrect FI02 values: programming issue can cause incorrect values to be transmitted to the LIS when : 1)- The FIO2 result is edited in the manual sample processing mode--2)- An existing result is opened and FI02 is then edited and sent.....In both cases RADIANCE will transmit the original FI02 value, not the value that was edited.
