Manufacturer Narrative

Sample from the patient was investigated and an interfering factor to the assay components was detected.Product labeling for the assay states: 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.For diagnostic purposes, the results should always be assessed in conjunction with the patient¿s medical history, clinical examination and other findings.
