|
Calibration and controls were acceptable.The patient had a non-reactive toxo igg value (0.18 coi).Samples that have indeterminate or low reactive results for toxo igm and at the same time non-reactive for toxo igg should be considered for a follow-up analysis within 2-3 weeks or for a re-run with another assay.The investigation could not identify a product problem.
