Whilst not using the Roche Modular, we have been complaining to Roche for some time about the raised results we are getting on EQA using the Roche Integra 700 on two EQA schemes..
We have had their standard/calibrant checked and confirmed, so it seems there may be a more fundamental problem, as Roche have been for some time unifying the mathods for both Integra and Modular systems.
So far, with no satisfactory response from Roche, we are considering asking them to investigate this complaint under their ISO staus, which should mean that we have to get a response to what they are doing etc., as well as any other queries from other users.

Dear All
We have recently started using the Roche Modular P system. We have a number of patients with Gilbert's syndrome or with valve replacements who, over the years, have had slightly raised total bilirubin with normal direct bilirubin as would be expected.
However, with the new method, we are getting slightly elevated direct bilirubin levels of 7 - 10 umol/L (quoted ref interval 0 - 6 umol/L)
Are any other users experiencing this?
