Calibration and qc were acceptable.Sample material was received for investigation.Upon investigation of the sample with size exclusion chromatography (sec), macro-tsh was detected in the sample which caused the high tsh results.Product labeling states: "the presence of autoantibodies may induce high molecular weight complexes (macro-tsh) which may cause unexpectedly high values of tsh.For diagnostic purposes, the results should always be assessed in conjunction with the patient¿s medical history, clinical examination and other findings." the investigation did not identify a product problem.
