Additional Manufacturer Narrative
|
|
The investigation did not identify a product problem.The cause for the discrepant results observed was found to be sample-specific.The contributing factors are likely a combination of off-label sample prep, differences in technology, different collections, and a sample that is at or near the limit of detection (lod).In general, lod samples are known to generate wavering results upon repeat testing.
