Manufacturer Narrative

Review of data did not reveal any malfunction of the product or analyzers or any handling issue during pre-analytics that could explain the difference in results between elecsys calcitonin immunoassay and the clia calcitonin assays.The results of a diagnostic test should always be assessed in conjunction with the patients medial history, clinical examination and other findings.The sample was requested for further investigation however it was no longer available.
