Description of Event or Problem · 1

ON JULY 24, 2007, ABBOTT POINT OF CARE WAS NOTIFIED THAT A CUSTOMER REPORTED A HEMATOCRIT RESULT DISCREPANCY THAT OCCURRED ON FIVE DAYS EARLIER. THE CUSTOMER WAS UNABLE TO IDENTIFY WHICH CARTRIDGE LOT WAS IN USE. A HEMATOCRIT RESULT OF 22% PCV WAS OBTAINED FROM THE I-STAT SYSTEM. TEN MINUTES LATER, ANOTHER SAMPLE WAS TESTED ON THIS PATIENT AND THE HEMATOCRIT RESULT WAS 25% PCV. SINCE THESE RESULTS WERE CONSIDERED TO BE NOT COMPATIBLE WITH THE PATIENT'S CLINICAL SITUATION. BOTH SAMPLES WERE RETESTED ON A DIFFERENT SYSTEM. THE REPEAT HEMATOCRIT RESULTS WERE 36% PCV FOR BOTH SAMPLES. NO TREATMENT WAS ADMINISTERED BASED ON THE I-STAT HEMATOCRIT RESULT OF 22% PCV. THE PATIENT WAS TAKEN TO SURGERY BASED ON THE RESULT FROM THE DIFFERENT SYSTEM.
