Official wording

Reason: The analyzers fail on S7950 (Range +) QC measurements due to the hemolyzer cuvettes, a subcomponent of the optical system which measures ctHb and derivates. In a cuvette with light shunt, some of the received light has not been transmitted through the sample. This will lead to a perturbed and non-linear absorbance spectrum which results in measurement errors.
