Hologic thoroughly reviewed the panther logs and noted that the initial sample curve exhibited an atypical low baseline fluorescence.This low fluorescence returned to normal early in the assay process.As a result, the software produced a high titer result for this sample.The recollected sample did not show an atypical fluorescence curve and produced a ¿not detected¿ result.The initial sample was not retested.Hologic field service upgraded the panther system software to the latest version on 11/21/2024 to improve performance in the ltr channel for the aptima hiv-1 quant dx assay.Hologic also performed a risk assessment.Over-quantification of hiv viral load may lead to a change in antiretroviral therapy (art) or unnecessary initiation of art treatment.However, under standard hiv viral load monitoring guidelines, a change in patient viral load is to be confirmed prior to change in patient treatment.In addition, upon initiation of art treatment, clinicians are expected to interpret assay results in conjunction with patient history and other available data.Hologic has not been informed of any patient treatment or any adverse patient outcomes related to this event.H3 other text: other.
