Additional Manufacturer Narrative

The investigation did not find a specific product issue.The anti-tshr assay is specifically designed to detect auto-antibodies against the tsh receptor.Per product labeling for the assay: the autoantibodies are heterogeneous and this gives rise to non-linear dilution phenomena for certain individual samples.
