Reason

Two phenomena might be observed:

The first phenomenon concerns nonspecific reactions primarily observed on QC samples but also with patient samples and eluates. Doubtful reactions or in some cases false positive reactions may occur randomly between batches and within a same batch. This phenomenon can appear with both manual and all automated methods.

The second phenomenon concerns insufficient homogenization of the red blood cells within the vials when stored on-board of the IH-500 or the IH-1000, and when the remaining volume is less than or equal to 2ml. The lack of homogenization can lead to the dispensing of low-concentrated reagent red blood cells into the wells of the ID-cards.
