Siemens received two reports of multiple discordant records for the same Sample ID in the ADVIA 560 Hematology System database that occurred during the installation of the systems.

If there are multiple records for the same Sample ID, it is possible that multiple results may be manually or automatically sent to the Laboratory Information System (LIS), printed or displayed on the results report screen.
