Additional Manufacturer Narrative

The patient samples were not available for investigation.The investigation reviewed the calibrations; the results were within specifications.The investigation reviewed the qc recovery data; the qc recovery data were within specifications.The investigation reviewed the instrument check on 21-nov-2023; the analyzer was performing within specifications.The differences between the results are most likely based on methodological differences.Due to the various standardization methods available and different assay setups and compositions (like the usage of different antibodies), it is possible to receive different results when using another manufacturer's test.The results show the same clinical picture of results above expectations.A general reagent issue can most likely be excluded because the qc recovery data were within specifications.
