Manufacturer Narrative
|
The patient sample was investigated and the customer¿s nt-probnp result was confirmed.Two point mutations (r72h and e69d) in the epitope of the detection antibody were reported.Measurements with 2 elecsys probnp ii sales lot kits supplemented with additional detection antibodies for these mutations showed that the nt-probnp value of the complaint sample is not falsely lowered due to r72h or e69d mutation.This result indicates that the nt-probnp value measured with the probnp ii assay is correct and needs to be discussed from a clinical point of view.The investigation did not identify a product problem.The cause of the event could not be determined.
