Event Description
|
We received an allegation of a high result not corresponding to the clinical picture for 1 patient's plasma sample tested with elecsys vitamin d total g3 (vitd3) assay on a cobas e 801 immunoanalyzer.Different sample draws were collected from the patient and were tested with 2 methods.The physician then compared the vitd3 result to a previous vitamin d g2 (vitd2) result and to a non-roche method where the patient did not receive any treatment.One month earlier, the vitd2 result was 33.1 ng/ml (tested on the same analyzer).On (b)(6) 2023, a new sample was collected and the vitd3 result was 54.3 ng/ml.On (b)(6) 2023 the same sample was repeated: before recalibration, the vitd3 result was 56.6 ng/ml.After recalibration, the vitd3 result was 53.2 ng/ml.The same sample was also repeated on a different e801 analyzer and the vitd result was 53 ng/ml.The vitd result from a non-roche (abbott) analyzer was 44.3 ng/ml (unknown which sample was tested).

The investigation did not identify a product problem.The cause of the event could not be determined.Due to different standardizations between methods, result variation may arise.Each laboratory should investigate the transferability of the expected values to its own patient population and if necessary determine its own reference ranges.For diagnostic purposes, the results should always be assessed in conjunction with the patient¿s medical history, clinical examination and other findings.
