Manufacturer Narrative

Sample from the patient was submitted for investigation.An interfering factor against streptavidin which is a component of the reagent was found in the sample.This interfering factor is documented in product labeling for the assay: 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.
