Additional Manufacturer Narrative

|
The customer's elecsys pth result could be confirmed.Upon investigation of the sample, an interfering factor against streptavidin could be identified.Product labeling for the assay documents this interference: 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.
