| Issue: | A potentially hazardous event can occur when the glass rod sensor in the ADVIA Centaur/XP fails, causing a vacuum leak error. This will cause a delay in results due to the system transitioning to an error state. Any tests that are in process (in the incubation ring) will be discarded and no results will be generated for these samples. |
