Section d4, expiration date was updated.Both patient samples were received for investigation.The customer's roche results were reproduced.Further investigation confirmed an interfering factor against the streptavidin component of the reagent for both patient samples causing the high results for anti-tpo and anti-tg.Product labeling states: "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.For diagnostic purposes, the results should always be assessed in conjunction with the patient¿s medical history, clinical examination and other findings." the investigation did not identify a product problem.
