Additional Manufacturer Narrative

|
The patient is a fertility patient.The result of 39.8 ng/ml was performed on a siemens analyzer.The calibration and qc were acceptable.There is no indication of a general reagent issue.Peg (precipitation by polyethylene glycol) treatment was performed on the sample with the high prolactin result and the results were acceptable.The results were as expected.The post-peg treatment results were: the sample with the result of 30.5 ng/ml became 20.2 ng/ml.The sample with the result of 73.4 ng/ml became 51.0 ng/ml.Product labeling states: "in case of implausible high prolactin values a precipitation by polyethylene glycol (peg) is recommended in order to estimate the amount of the biological active monomeric prolactin" the investigation found the event was due to the customer not performing peg treatment on the sample with a high prolactin result.
