The customer contacted a siemens customer care center (ccc) specialist. The ccc reviewed the data provided. The ccc found their quality control (qc) was out of range at the time of the event. The ccc was not able to provide further troubleshooting as the instrument was experiencing errors. A siemens customer service engineer (cse) was dispatched to the customer's site. The cse replaced the flex presence sensor on the reagent loader. The cse loaded a new flex lot for qc. The cse ran level 1 and level 3 qc, resulting within range. The cause of the discordant, falsely depressed cholesterol results is due to a cracked flex presence sensor. The instrument is performing according to specifications. No further evaluation of the device is required.
