Repeatable (b)(6) vitros ahiv 1+2 results were obtained from a patient sample compared to a single (b)(6) result obtained using a non ocd roche hiv combo assy.The event was isolated to a single patient sample.A review of the customer¿s vitros 5600 instrument data logs did not reveal any instrument issue that may have contributed to the event.The vitros ahiv 1+2 assay can only detect the presence of antibody to (b)(6) in a sample.Only a single qualitative (b)(6) roche hiv assay result was provided, and the roche assay is capable of detecting both antibody to (b)(6).However, because of the roche hiv combo method (b)(6) result, it is possible antibody to (b)(6) is present in the sample; therefore ocd will conservatively report this event to regulatory authorities as a (b)(6) vitros ahiv 1+2 event.The customer made no allegation that inappropriate medical action was taken resulting in actual or potential harm to the patient.
