Repeat positive estradiol results were obtained for one patient when negative results were expected.The patient had continuous cdk 4/6 inhibitor treatment during the estradiol measurements.The customer was using alinity i estradiol, reagent lot 35332ud00.The patient underwent an adnexectomy due to the elevated estradiol results, caused by cdk 4/6 interference.A review of the product quality history for the lot number using search of the corrective and preventive actions (capa) system did not identify issues associated with the customer¿s observation.Data and information provided by the customer were reviewed.From the review performed, it has been determined that there is sufficient labelling to aid the customer in troubleshooting this issue.No trends were identified.No elevated complaint activity was identified for lot 35332ud00.No non-statistical trend was observed.As per the alinity i estradiol package insert: this assay should not be used to assess estradiol levels for patients undergoing fulvestrant or mifepristone treatment.Structural and functional analogues of steroid hormones, including the estradiol molecule, have the potential to cause interference/cross reactivity with the alinity i estradiol assay.Samples from patients administered medications which inhibit tumor cell proliferation (e.G.Cdk 4/6 inhibitors) may be subject to interference/cross reactivity with the alinity i estradiol assay.In addition, drugs which interfere with or activate production of steroid hormones (e.G.Aromatase inhibitors) may also interfere or cross react with the alinity i estradiol assay.In such cases, an alternate method such as chromatography should be used.The customer did not follow product labeling as required.Based on the information within the complaint record, the device met performance specifications and performed as intended at the customer site.A systemic issue and/or product deficiency was not identified.This follow up includes a correction to include the codes in section h6 for component code, type of investigation, investigation findings and investigation conclusions that were not included in the initial report.
