Manufacturer Narrative

08/30/2017: additional information: there is no information on the patient medication.There is no new sample available for the patient to be tested.The patient sample (b)(6) was tested on an alternate method and the result was (b)(6).The testing on the advia centaur xp gave a mean result of 5.6 with a 20% cv after 1/5 or 1/10 dilution.Siemens is unable to determine the cause of the non-linear dilutions because there is no sample available to be returned.Additionally, there is no information about patient medication or if the patient had taken vitamins or supplements.The instrument is performing within specifications.No further evaluation of the device is required.The ifu states in the limitations section: "hemolysis significantly increases folate values due to the high folate concentrations in red blood cells.Methotrexate and leucovorin interfere with folate measurement because these drugs cross-react with folate binding proteins.".
