The initial reporter questioned positive results for 1 patient sample tested for elecsys toxo igg (toxo igg) on a cobas e 801 analytical unit.On (b)(6) 2023 the patient had a toxo igg result from the e801 analyzer of < 1 iu/ml (negative).The toxo igm result was 0.22 coi (negative).On (b)(6) 2023 a new sample was obtained and the toxo igg result from the e801 analyzer was 20 iu/ml (positive).The toxo igm result was 0.24 coi (negative).Due to the difference between the 2 samples for toxo igg, both samples were repeated and the results from each sample were reproducible: the toxo igg result from the sample obtained on (b)(6) 2023 was negative.The toxo igg result from the sample obtained on (b)(6) 2023 was 20 iu/ml (positive).The questionable results were reported outside of the laboratory.Due to suspicions of a recent infection, the doctor requested repeat testing.The sample was sent to an external laboratory where the toxo igg result from the roche method was 19.44 iu/ml (positive).The toxoplasma igg avidity result was high.As the avidity result did not correspond to a recent infection, the sample from (b)(6) 2023 was sent to a reference laboratory: the toxoplasmosis igg result from the enzyme linked fluorescent assay (elfa) was negative.The toxoplasmosis igg result from the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (elisa) was negative.The customer suspects an interference for the sample obtained on (b)(6) 2023.The e801 module serial number was (b)(6).
