The initial reporter received questionable elecsys (b)(6) combi pt results for one patient tested on a cobas 6000 e 601 module.The e 601 serial number was requested but not provided.No questionable results were reported outside the laboratory.The patient¿s sample was collected on (b)(6) 2020 and was tested with the hiv duo elecsys e2g assay.The patient¿s (b)(6) duo results were from a cobas 8000 e 801 module.The customer used the same patient sample for repeat testing on (b)(6) 2020.On (b)(6) 2020, the patient¿s (b)(6) duo result was reactive.On (b)(6) 2020, the patient¿s (b)(6) duo result was reactive.On (b)(6) 2020, the patient¿s (b)(6) combi result was 0.331 coi non-reactive.The customer could not confirm which result is correct for the patient.

The customer's provided calibration data and qc data were acceptable.The customer provided the patient's sample for investigation.The investigation reproduced the customer's results.The investigation performed an elecsys hiv ag confirmatory test with the patient's sample, and the patient's result was negative.The investigation confirmed the customer's hiv combi result of 0.331 coi non-reactive was correct for the patient.The investigation determined the patient's sample was reactive with monoclonal antibodies of the hivag detection module of the hiv duo elecsys e2g assay.The product labeling states, "specimens from patients who have received mouse monoclonal antibodies for diagnosis or therapy may contain human anti-mouse antibodies and may interfere in assays that employ mouse monoclonal antibodies." per product labeling, for reactive sample results using the elecsys hiv duo assay, "all initially reactive samples should be redetermined in duplicate with the elecsys hiv duo assay." also, "repeatedly reactive samples must be confirmed according to cdc recommended confirmatory algorithms." the investigation did not identify a product problem.
