Sections a2 and b7 were updated.The concomitant medical product section was also updated.A general reagent issue can be excluded since qc was within ranges.The patient was taking an analgesic and the name of the analgesic was requested but not provided.Since the exact compound was not provided, further investigation regarding the suspected interference could not be performed.The investigation determined no interference from common analgetic drugs: phenylbutazone, acetylsalicylic acid, acetaminophen, and ibuprofen.The investigation did not identify a product problem.The cause of the event could not be determined.
