Two samples (sample 1 and sample 3) were received for investigation on 05-sep-2025: sample 1: further investigation of toxoplasma igm: elecsys toxo igm result: 1.5 coi (reactive).Vidas toxo igm result: 0.03 index (negative).Sample 3: further investigation of toxoplasma igm: elecsys toxo igm result: 0.82 coi (borderline) vidas toxo igm result: 0.17 index (negative).The investigation results were as follows: elecsys toxo igm: sample 1: 1.32 coi (reactive).Sample 3: 0.93 coi (borderline).Elecsys toxo igg: sample 1: <0.180 iu/ml (non-reactive).Sample 3: 359 iu/ml (reactive).Elecsys toxo igg avidity: sample 1: not applicable.Sample 3: 74.6 avi% (indeterminate).Platelia toxo igm: sample 1: 0.17 coi (non-reactive).Sample 3: 0.22 coi (non-reactive).Mikrogen recomline toxo igm: sample 1 and sample 3: non-reactive.Label interference: sample 1 and sample 3: observed reactivity not based on label interference.Neutralization: sample 3: neutralizable.The product labeling states: "for diagnostic purposes, the results should always be assessed in conjunction with the patient¿s medical history, clinical examination and other findings." the cause of the event was as follows: sample 1: to determine whether the elecsys toxo igm reactivity indicated an early acute infection or was caused by unspecific/cross-reactive igms, further testing with a follow-up sample should be performed.Sample 3: possibly was derived from a patient with a late acute infection that had persisting igm antibodies.The investigation did not identify a product problem.The assay performs within specifications.
