A sample from the patient was provided for investigation.Investigations of the sample determined that it contains an interfering factor against the streptavidin component of the roche assay.Per product labeling: "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.".
