Reported risk: There is a potential issue between the cobas IT Middleware (cITM) system and customer laboratory information system (LIS) when spaces are used in the sample ID's. If the LIS sends sample ID with leading spaces to cITM this ID will be saved with spaces, when an instrument sends results back to cITM, since the driver removes these spaces during the transmission, therefore sample ID not found or wrong sample ID association may occur.
