The sample was requested for further investigations but could not be provided.The investigation could not identify a product problem.The cause of the event could not be determined.The issue is consistent with a human anti-mouse antibody (hama) interference.Per product labeling: "in rare cases, interference due to extremely high titers of antibodies to analyte-specific antibodies, streptavidin or ruthenium can occur.These effects are minimized by suitable test design.".
