Upon further investigation of the patient sample, the values measured at the customer site could be reproduced.It was determined that the sample contains an interfering factor against the streptavidin component of the anti-tshr assay.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.".
