App-derived interpretation

Unknown reason.no_named_rule · v1.0.0
Erroneous low results on a small number of reagent wells. There is the potential for under-recovery on certain wells for quality control (QC) and patient sample results. The under-recovery ranged from -0.3 mg/dL [0.12 mmol/L] to -1.6 mg/dL [0.66 mmol/L]; equivalent to a maximum negative bias of -88%.
