Investigate a cluster of unexpected Detected results with a positive NTC/negative control and decide to stop release, decontaminate, and retest
Open case →Resolve Detected vs Not detected conflict on repeats with attention to controls, identity, and institutional indeterminate rules
Open case →Recognize an unexpected multiplex pattern, verify specimen identity and contamination risk, and confirm before release
Open case →Validate a quantitative molecular result and a simple serial trend using assay controls and reporting limits, without converting values into treatment advice or universal clinical cutoffs
