Manufacturer Narrative

The customer's cobas e801 serial number was (b)(4).The investigation determined that a general reagent issue can most likely be excluded.The noticed discrepancies for tsh and ft4 ii between the cobas e801 results versus the competitor systems is likely explained by the fact that the assays from different vendors can generate different values.This relates to the overall setups of the assays, the antibodies used, and differences in reference materials and the standardization methodology used.
