Product labeling states, "measuring range 0.4-1000 u/ml or 2.78-6945 pmol/l (defined by the limit of detection and the maximum of the master curve).Values below the limit of detection are reported as 0.4 u/ml (< 2.78 pmol/l).Values above the measuring range are reported as 1000 u/ml (> 6945 pmol/l)." for dilution testing, product labeling states, "not necessary due to the broad measuring range." the investigation determined the high elecsys insulin results compared to the alinity analyzer was consistent with the elecsys insulin assay detecting the auto-insulin antibody complexes.For assay limitations, product labeling states, "samples from patients treated with bovine, porcine or human insulin sometimes contain anti-insulin antibodies.Insulin bound to these antibodies is at least partially recognized by the antibodies used in the elecsys insulin assay." based on the provided information, the investigation did not identify a product problem.The cause of the event could not be determined.
