Access 2 Results Sometimes Show Abnormally High or Zero Values Without Any Error

On the Access 2 analyzer, some test results are sometimes reported as unusually high values or as zero (0). However, no error or alarm is displayed on the system. The issue occurs intermittently.

We have already performed Prime several times and also performed the Determination Curve, but the problem still persists.

When patient samples are loaded and tested, some results are unreliable or unrealistic, including unexpectedly high results or zero results, even though there are no errors or alarms displayed.

What could be the possible cause of this issue, and what troubleshooting steps should be performed to identify the problem?

👋 Hi ​@mansoor, welcome to the Box Community! Thank you for reaching out.


The issue you are experiencing with the Access 2 analyzer (such as intermittent abnormally high or zero patient test results, priming, and determination curves) relates to clinical laboratory immunoassay hardware and diagnostic procedures rather than Box software.


Because Box provides cloud content management and file sharing, we do not have technical troubleshooting resources for laboratory diagnostic instruments.


We recommend contacting Beckman Coulter Technical Support directly or consulting your facility’s biomedical engineering / laboratory service specialist for assistance with instrument fluidics, probe inspection, and calibration.


Thank you!
