The patient sample was not received for investigation.The cause of the event could not be determined.Internal investigations have confirmed a decreased specificity for this reagent lot, still performing within the product specifications.The specificity is within the claimed range.Product labeling states "method comparison - relative sensitivity and specificity after resolution: study 1 n = 785; relative sensitivity % - 95.3 (162/170); lower confidence limit % - 91.7; relative specificity % - 98.8 (595/602); lower confidence limit % - 97.8.Study 2 n = 390; relative sensitivity % - 98.8 (83/84); lower confidence limit % - 94.5; relative specificity % - 99.7 (294/295); lower confidence limit % - 98.4." the reagent performs within specification.The investigation did not identify a product problem.
