| Reason | False short clotting times for PT on BCS and BCS XP with Dade Innovin can occur. This has also an effect for false low PT INR values. These false short clotting times were observed only with turbid, hemolytic and/or icteric samples from intensive care patients. The corresponding reaction curves of these samples showed a pre-peak, which can lead to falsely short clotting time. The result was not flagged by the existing check algorithms. |
