The failure of a control sample would trigger a reanalysis of the control - additional failure should/will trigger an investigation where the test in question is not performed until a cause for the failure is found. There are two sets of control limits and going outside the first set is expected about 5% of the time - this is why a retest should show conformity and no real problem. However, if the test goes outside the outer limits (happens naturally only 1% of time) then this should automatically trigger an investigation.
