Additional Manufacturer Narrative

The sample was returned for investigation.An interfering factor against the streptavidin component of the reagents was detected in the sample, causing a falsely elevated value of the ft3iii assay and the different values of the tsh assay.Product labeling states: "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.For diagnostic purposes, the results should always be assessed in conjunction with the patient¿s medical history, clinical examination and other findings.".
