Clinitek hCG QC Error Codes

Hello everyone!
For our hCG Clinitests, we use the Siemens Chex-Stix and have been getting numerous Error 67 codes on the negative controls only. We need to run it a handful of times before it eventually passes. I have cleaned the instrument as per manufacturer guidelines and pipette the correct amount. I ordered a different QC from Cardinal Health and the same error keeps coming up across all of our instruments using different cassette lot#s. Waiting to hear back from Siemens but just curious to see if anyone has also been having a hard time with QC not passing.
Thank you!!

So, error E67 indicates an issue with Sample Flow. Is the alternate control from the vendor and just a different lot number or is it a different vendor's product altogether? I know that the Chex-Stix is a "prepared" product so I am wondering if maybe certain lots of the negative QC are not dissolving into solution properly and causing the issue - as opposed to a product where the solution requires no preparation.
