Manufacturer Narrative
|
Investigation of the provided patient sample found an interfering factor was present in the patient sample which caused the falsely elevated results.This interference is documented in product labeling for the assay: in rare cases, interference due to extremely high titers of antibodies to analyte-specific antibodies, streptavidin or ruthenium can occur.These effects are minimized by suitable test design.For diagnostic purposes, the results should always be assessed in conjunction with the patient¿s medical history, clinical examination and other findings.There was no malfunction of the device.
