Event or Problem Description
|
|
The initial reporter stated they received questionable results for one patient sample tested with the elecsys troponin t hs on a cobas e 801 module (serial number (b)(4)).The troponin t hs results did not agree with the clinical examination and history of the patient and the customer suspects an interference-based discrepant high elecys troponin t hs result.The patient sample also generated questionable elecsys myoglobin results, which were not taken into consideration since the elecsys troponin t values were already considered implausible.This medwatch will apply to the elecsys myoglobin assay.Please refer to the medwatch with patient identifier.Patient identifier (b)(6) for information related to the elecsys troponin t hs assay.The sample initially resulted in a myoglobin value of 53.1 ng/ml.The sample was diluted 10 times and repeated, resulting in a value of <210 ng/ml, accompanied by a data flag.The sample was then repeated undiluted, resulting in a value of 21.0 ng/ml, accompanied by a data flag.The questionable results were reported outside of the laboratory.
