Assay Result Errors may occur during the processing of an assay run. They are
divided into six different groups:
Calibration Curve Errors
Curve Control Errors
Quality Control Errors
Blank Errors
LOW RU Errors
FluoroC Errors
The Assay Result Errors are printed on different places on the reports depending
on the error group. At the end of the reports you find the Action Lists with
instructions on how to eliminate the errors.
You may receive more than one Assay Result Error or Assay Result Errors
together with Processing Errors. The instructions will then be combined into one
Action List.
Follow the instructions and perform the necessary steps. Do not empty the
instrument before you perform the actions listed on the Action List since this
might complicate identification of the cause of the error. A more detailed
information on each Assay Result Error is provided in this chapter.
Assay Result Errors are sometimes caused by one or more Processing Errors that
have occured during the assay run. Eliminating the Processing Errors can then
automatically lead to elimination of the Assay Result Errors.
Calibration Curve Errors
Calibration Curve Errors occur when the Calibration Curve is outside the limits,
if the CV is too high for the calibrator replicates or if the Calibration Curve is
too old.
If the Calibration Curve is outside the limits, the CV is too high or the Calibration
Curve is too old, you get NOT OK after Acceptance underneath Calibration
Information on the Laboratory Report.
