OF THESE TEN SAMPLES, ONE SAMPLE HAD AN ERRONEOUS RESULT. VALUES OBTAINED WITH THE OLDER TNT STAT LOT WERE BELIEVED TO BE CORRECT. NO ERRONEOUS RESULTS WERE REPORTED OUTSIDE OF THE LABORATORY. THE SAMPLE PULLED ON (B)(6) 2015 GAVE A RESULT OF 0.016 NG/ML WHEN TESTED WITH LOT 1844301 ON AN E601 MODULE ANALYZER, SERIAL NUMBER (B)(4). THE SAMPLE GAVE A RESULT OF 0.03 NG/ML WITH TNT STAT LOT 18070501 ON (B)(6) 2015. IT IS NOT KNOWN WHICH ANALYZER THIS RESULT WAS OBTAINED FROM. THE PATIENTS WERE NOT ADVERSELY AFFECTED.
