Reason

During the investigation of an issue from a customer complaint, it was found by the manufacturer that the daily cleanup sample can fail in deleting samples which are older than the configured retention period in the cobas IT middleware. Some samples which have been ordered from the lis and remain with open tests may not be deleted. Open tests are those for which results did not complete the processing cycle, including transmission to lis.
