Event or Problem Description
|
|
There was an allegation of questionable elecsys cmv igg results from the cobas e 801 analytical unit.Patient 1 initial cmv igg result was 12 coi (reactive).Patient 2 initial cmv igg result was 3.5 coi (reactive).Both samples were retested on a different instrument (chorus evo diesse, elisa method), due to a previous negative cmv igg history for both patients.The results obtained on the elisa system were negative: patient 1: < 0.20, patient 2: < 0.20.Following this, a rerun was performed on the original cobas instrument after recalibration: patient 1: cmv igg = 12 coi (reactive).Patient 2: cmv igg = 3.5 coi (reactive).

Additional Manufacturer Narrative

Medwatch field d4 expiration date was updated.Samples for the first 3 patients were received for investigation.The customer¿s reactive results with elecsys cmv igg were reproducible for all 3 samples.Further analysis determined that the elecsys results for patients 1 and 3 were considered correctly positive.The result for patient sample 2 was likely a false positive with the elecsys cmv igg assay.The result was discordant to all methods tested and showed a uniform distribution of antigen reactivity.This is consistent with an interfering compound in the sample.A general product problem or malfunction was not found.
