Veuillez répondre à Brian

Dear All,
We are having some quite serious problems with our calcium measurements at
Mayday Hospital.
We initially noticed unexpectedly high results, which on repeat were found
to be more in line with previous results.
Since then we have been running all calcium assays automatically in
duplicate, which are frequently discrepant.
We have been working with Roche to try and solve the problem, although they
don’t know of any other labs reporting similar problems. I was just
wondering if anyone else has been seeing odd high calcium results, perhaps
less frequently, that may provide us with some more information to try and
establish the cause of our problem.
We use the CPC method and see the effect on both a PEE and PPE line.
We have MPA, but the problem also exists with paediatric samples directly
loaded to the analysers.
Thanks for any help/ suggestions,
Brian
