Manufacturer Narrative

Additional information (13-apr-2018): the customer provided patient samples for in-house testing.Siemens tsl ran 14 patient samples on an immulite 2000 instrument using kit lots 672 and 673 and on the advia centaur instrument using kit lot 298.Two samples could not be retested on the advia centaur instrument due to insufficient sample quantity.For the remaining samples, 9 of 12 samples were clinically concordant.A siemens headquarters support center specialist reviewed the event details and determined that the assays on the advia centaur and immulite 2000 xpi have different cut-offs, use different antigens and antibodies, and use different architectures.Most antibody assays have poor correlation to each other.The cause of the discordant anti-tg ab results on patient samples is unknown.No further evaluation of device is required.Mdr 2432235-2018-00033_s2 was filed for the same event.
