The calibration and qc data were within the expected ranges.Additional analysis showed the samples contained cmv-specific igg antibodies of high avidity, suggesting that other methods might detect persisting cmv igm antibodies in the samples.The obtained results are not indicative of an early phase of infection with cmv.Medwatch fields a2 - age at time of event, a3 - sex, and b7 - other relevant history were updated.
