Manufacturer Narrative

The patient sample was received and investigated with the following results: 1.Elecsys rubella igg: 65 iu/ml reactive 2.Elecsys rubella igm: 0.250 coi non-reactive (for information) 3.Platelia rubella igg: negative 4.Neutralization (r&d in-house verification): successful => presence of anti-rubella igg antibodies verified 5.Mirkogen blot rubella igg: negative the successful neutralization clearly supports a true positivity of this sample.The platelia rubella igg, though negative, is at an enhanced level and therefore also slightly supporting a positive result.Interestingly, the blot is totally negative and does not at all support a positive result.Such a constellation was not observed up to now and is extremely difficult to interpret.As there are more results pointing to a content of specific rubella igg in this sample (positive elecsys rubella igg, successful neutralization and enhanced level in the platelia rubella igg) the sample is more likely correct positive in the elecsys rubella igg.The investigation determined the elecsys rubella igg reagent performs within specification.
