Siemens is investigating.The instructions for use (ifu) under the interpretation of results section states the following: "the detection of toxoplasma igm in a given specimen, as determined by assays from different manufacturers, can vary due to differences in assay methods and reagent specificity." the instructions for use (ifu) under the limitation section states the following: "patient specimens collected very early during the acute phase of infection may contain toxoplasma igm levels below the cutoff of the advia centaur toxo m assay.Additionally, diagnosis of a recent infection should not be made based on a single sampling because igm antibodies to t.Gondii may persist in serum many months after infection.8 the presence of igm antibodies to t.Gondii is not diagnostic for recent infection.The same patient was tested earlier ((b)(6) 2017), and the advia centaur xp toxo m result was negative compared to the same reference laboratory positive result (refer to mdr 1219913-2017-00255).
