Event or Problem Description
|
|
The initial reporter stated they received discrepant results for one patient sample tested with igm-2 on a cobas 8000 c702 module.The sample initially resulted in an igm value of 39.66 g/l with a data flag.The sample was repeated three additional times using a decreased sample volume, resulting in igm values of 70.63 g/l with a data flag, 69.39 g/l, and 69.93 g/l.The sample was diluted 1:20 and repeated, resulting in an igm value of 36.93 g/l with a data flag.The sample was repeated using an increased sample volume, resulting in an igm value of 0.14 g/l.

Additional Manufacturer Narrative
|
|
High igm values are plausible and are due to the patient's condition (waldenstrom¿s macroglobulinaemia / lymphoplasmacytic lymphoma).The very low value of 0.14 g/l obtained using increased sample volume points to a high dose hook effect.For highly concentrated samples, dilutions using decreased sample volume or manual off-board dilutions are recommended.The 1:20 dilution was performed on board.Ordering additional dilutions directly on the instrument will cancel the automatic pre-dilution of the test and can potentially give false results due to missing pre-dilution.The investigation did not identify a product problem.
