Additional Manufacturer Narrative

|
The calibration and qc results were within specifications.The investigation determined the event was consistent with a sample-specific discrepancy.The product labeling states, "limitations - interference - a test result <10 iu/ml does not completely rule out the possibility of an acute rubella infection.Specimens taken very early in the acute phase of infection may not contain any detectable amounts of anti-rubella igg or may have an antibody concentration < 10 iu/ml." the investigation did not identify a product problem.
