The operator then started the centrifuge module by releasing the module lock but did not remove all the samples prior to releasing the module lock as required per the instructions in the user manual. The tcautomation software performed as designed by correctly identifying the sample identification (sid) mismatch by posting a cross check error message. The results of the investigation did not identify any failures with the system.
