Manufacturer Narrative
|
2 samples were requested for investigation.The investigation reproduced the customer¿s results and the samples are clearly reactive on elecsys anti-sars-cov-2.The appearance of discrepant reactive results is rare (<0.2% of all samples) but to be expected for a serological assay.The sample has been tested and confirmed negative in a rapid assay and another independent, roche in-house sars-antibody assay.Further clarification of the observed discrepancies is not possible with available methods and the current state of the art.
