The initial reporter received questionable elecsys ft4 iii, elecsys ft3 iii, and tsh elecsys results for 1 patient on a cobas 8000 cobas e 602 module, serial number, (b)(4).This medwatch covers the alleged results for the tsh assay.Please refer to medwatch (b)(4) for the alleged ft3 assay results and medwatch (b)(4) for the alleged ft4 assay results.The results were reported to the patient's endocrinologist, who requested the sample test be repeated due to the results not matching the patient's clinical picture.The patient's results obtained with cmia (chemiluminescent microparticle immunoassay) technology were considered to be clinically correlating with the patient.The customer suspects an interference.
