Further investigations performed with the patient sample were able to duplicate the results obtained by the customer.Investigations of the sample determined that it contains an interfering factor that affects the pre-wash step of the ft3 assay.An interfering factor against the streptavidin component of the ft3 assay could not be identified.Per product labeling, "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." the investigation did not identify a product issue.
