The initial reporter stated they received questionable results for four patient samples tested with the elecsys anti-hav ii on a cobas e 801 analytical unit, serial number 1983-05.The positive results did not fit the clinical history of the patients as no vaccination or infection is known/assumed.Patient 1: the sample initially resulted in an anti-hav ii value of 1.0 coi.A second sample drawn from the same patient resulted in an anti-hav ii value of 1.0 coi.The sample was then repeated in a different laboratory by using an immunoluminometric assay (ilma) method, showing a negative result.Patient 2: the sample initially resulted in an anti-hav ii value of 0.7 coi.A second sample drawn from the same patient resulted in an anti-hav ii value of 0.71 coi.The sample was then repeated in a different laboratory by using an immunoluminometric assay (ilma) method, showing a positive result.Patient 3: the sample initially resulted in an anti-hav ii value of 0.85 coi.A second sample drawn from the same patient resulted in an anti-hav ii value of 0.857 coi.The sample was then repeated in a different laboratory by using an immunoluminometric (ilma) assay method, showing a negative result.Patient 4: the sample initially resulted in an anti-hav ii value of 0.81 coi.A second sample drawn from the same patient resulted in an anti-hav ii value of 0.815 coi.The questionable results were reported outside of the laboratory.

|
The samples from patients 4 and 5 were provided for investigation and tested on a cobas e801 module and a cobas e602 module.The elecsys anti-hav ii results close to the cut-off generated at the customer site could be reproduced.Both sample results were reactive for anti-hav ii.Patient 4: e801 module: 0.889 coi (reactive).E602 module: 0.885 coi (reactive).Patient 5: e801 module: 0.993 coi (reactive).E602 module: 0.994 coi (reactive).The samples were also tested on a cobas e801 module using the elecsys anti-hav igm assay, resulting in non-reactive values (patient 4: 0.312 coi and patient 5: 0.320 coi ).The investigation is ongoing.

The calibration and qc data provided were acceptable.The investigation determined that there were no interfering factors in the samples of patients 3 and 5.The reactive results for samples 3, 4, and 5 were deemed correct.Based on the available data, it was determined that the reagent performs within specification.The investigation did not identify a product problem.The root cause of the event could not be determined.
