For the event, a second sample from the same patient also had discrepant results for the elecsys ft3 iii assay on a cobas 8000 e 602 module and a cobas 6000 e 601 module.For this event, a sample from the patient was provided for investigation and the investigation determined the sample contains a factor that interferes with the streptavidin component of the ft3 assay.Per product labeling: "in rare cases, interference due to extremely high titers of antibodies to analyte-specific antibodies, streptavidin or ruthenium can occur.These effects are minimized by suitable test design." there were no follow up actions for this event.
