The user reported that several known u+ donor samples also resulted as u- with hea beadchip.For hea beadchip plates that had the aberrant false-negative fy(a) and u results, lower probe signal intensities were seen.For the fya/fyb probes, this resulted in the adjusted intensity ratio (delta value) falling within or around the lower gray zone region resulting in false-negative fy(a) results.The lower probe signal intensities also led to increased low signal (ls) calls on probes for the s and s antigens leading to an aberrant u- result.A product notification (correction under §806) was issued to consignees providing guidance for users to review the adjusted signal intensity ratio (delta value) on samples testing fy(a-) and to retest samples if the delta value is around or within the lower gray zone, and to repeat samples with the assigned phenotype s(ls), s(ls), u(0) to verify the results.
