There was an allegation of false-positive elecsys hiv duo results for 1 patient on a cobas e 801 analytical unit.The initial elecsys hiv duo result was 100 coi (reactive); the anti-hiv result was 0.0855 coi (non-reactive), and the hiv ag result was 100 coi (reactive).On (b)(6) 2026, the repeated elecsys hiv duo result was 89.7 coi (reactive); the anti-hiv result was 0.0850 coi (non-reactive), and the hiv ag result was 89.7 coi (reactive).On (b)(6) 2026, the repeated elecsys hiv duo result was 89.8 coi (reactive); the anti-hiv result was 0.0778 coi (non-reactive), and the hiv ag result was 89.8 coi (reactive).It was reported that a rapid hiv test was performed on this patient, yielding a negative result.A viral load hiv test was also conducted, and the result was undetectable.The testing methods were not provided.It was reported that the patient's medical history for (b)(6) 2025 showed a reactive elecsys hiv duo result that entered the diagnostic algorithm with the same findings: an undetectable viral load and a negative rapid test.

The analyzer's serial number is (b)(6).The calibration and qc were acceptable.Single false reactive results may occur as the specificity of elecsys hiv duo is less than 100%.For diagnostic purposes, the results should always be assessed in conjunction with the patient¿s medical history, clinical examination and other findings.The elecsys hiv duo assay performs within specification.
