Calibration and qc were acceptable.No preanalytical issues were identified.Product labeling states: "results for cross-reactivity with recombinant insulin analogs in a number of insulin methods have been published for example by two groups in france and the usa.The following results were published by owen et al.For the elecsys insulin assay: insulin lispro, insulin aspart, and insulin glargine were each tested in concentrations of 30, 100, 300, and 1000 miu/l in the absence of insulin.The results obtained were below the detection limit of the elecsys insulin assay (< 0.4 u/ml or < 2.78 pmol/l) at all the concentrations tested." the investigation determined that the lower elecsys insulin results compared to the siemens method were that the siemens method measures the patient's insulin medication, while the elecsys insulin assay does not.The investigation did not identify a product problem.
