Two samples (serum and plasma) were received for investigation and tested on a cobas 8000 c 702 module for both crej2 creatinine jaffé gen.2 and crep2 creatinine plus ver.2.The creatinine results for both samples and both methods were similar.Based on these results, the customer results were confirmed.All results for igg were within the normal range, the results for iga were slightly above the reference range, and the result of igm was increased.Due to the high concentration of immunoglobulin, possible igm interference exists.The investigation was unable to find a definitive root cause.As calibration and qc results were acceptable, a general reagent issue could be excluded.
