The patient identifier is (b)(6).The customer did not supply patient demographics such as age, date of birth, sex, weight, ethnicity or race.The access sars-cov-2 igm reagent was not returned for evaluation.No hardware errors, flags or other assay issues were reported in conjunction with this event.Per the sars-cov-2 igm instructions for use (ifu), part number c65791 c, ¿false positive results for the access sars-cov-2 igm assay may occur due to cross-reactivity from pre-existing antibodies or other possible causes.Due to the risk of false positive results, confirmation of positive results should be considered using a second different assay,¿ and ¿a positive result may not indicate previous sars-cov-2 infection.Consider other information, including clinical history, and local disease prevalence, in assessing the need for an alternative serology test to confirm an immune response.Positive results may be due to past or present infection with non-sars-cov-2 coronavirus strains, such as coronavirus hku1, nl63, oc43, or 229e." although rare, some false positive results may occur.Per the ifu, "the overall negative percent agreement of the access sars-cov-2 igm assay is 99.9% with a 95% confidence interval of 99.5 - 100.0% determined by the wilson score method." in conclusion, the cause of this event cannot be determined with the available information.There is no evidence to reasonably suggest that a malfunction occurred in conjunction with this event.
