Manufacturer Narrative

The customer has confirmed the following reagents were used for ft3, anti-tpo, anti-tg, and anti-tshr: elecsys ft3 iii ver.2, roche diagnostics cobas elecsys anti-tpo, roche diagnostics elecsys anti-tg, elecsys anti-tshr immunoassay ver.2.Medwatch field d4 has been updated.

Manufacturer Narrative

A sample from the patient was provided for investigation.The ft3 and ft4 values obtained by the customer could be reproduced.Further investigations of the sample determined that it contains an interfering factor against the streptavidin component of the ft3, ft4, anti-tpo, anti-tg, and anti-tshr assays.Per product labeling: "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.".
