| Issue: | There is a potential for a sample and result to be mismatched when running in the D-10 Rack Loader configuration. This means that a patient result may be assigned to an incorrect sample ID. While the manufacturer investigates and prepares a permanent solution, the recommendation is that customers verify that the number of results equals the total number of samples run. If there is a discrepancy, customers should identify the rack with the missing result, rerun all samples from that rack, and check the laboratory information system (LIS) results. |
