Event Description
|
There was an allegation of questionable non-reactive elecsys anti-sars-cov-2 s results for 2 patient samples on a cobas e 411 analyzer (rack system), serial number (b)(4).Patient 1: on (b)(6) 2022 the patient's symptomatic infection was confirmed by a pcr test.On (b)(6) 2022 the patient's results were: the elecsys anti-sars-cov-2 result was 18 coi (reactive).The elecsys anti-sars-cov-2 s result was 17.5 u/ml (non-reactive).Patient 2: on (b)(6) 2022 the patient's symptomatic infection was confirmed by a pcr test.On (b)(6) 2022 the patient's results were: the elecsys anti-sars-cov-2 result was 37.86 coi (reactive).The elecsys anti-sars-cov-2 s result was <0.4 u/ml (non-reactive).It is unknown if the results were reported outside of the laboratory.

Manufacturer Narrative

Samples from both patients were returned for investigation.Investigation results: (a) the elecsys anti-sars-cov-2 results were: the result for patient #1 was 18.7 coi.The result for patient #2 was 64.3 coi.Both samples were reactive.(b) the elecsys anti-sars-cov-2 s results with the wuhan receptor binding domains (rbd) were: the result for patient #1 was 17.8 u/ml.The result for patient #2 was 3.44 u/ml.Both samples were reactive.(c) the elecsys anti-sars-cov-2 s (omicron rbd) results were: the result for patient#1 was 52.9 u/ml.The result for patient #2 was 30.5 u/ml.Both samples were reactive.The customer's results were confirmed.Consequently, the omicron and the wuhan rbds were compared in the elecsys anti-sars-cov-2 s assay.Higher titers were detected by the omicron rbd in both patient samples.It is unclear, whether the omicron rbd would have detected an earlier seroconversion in the samples collected within one month after the infection from the unvaccinated patients.The investigation did not identify a product problem.The cause of the event could not be determined.
