The cause for the discordant ipth result is unknown.Siemens healthcare diagnostics is investigating.The limitations section of the instructions for use states: "results should always be interpreted in conjunction with the patient's medical history, clinical presentation, and other findings.Interpretation of intact pth values should always take into account serum calcium results and the interrelationship between these two elements in various disorders involving pth and calcium.It is recommended that the intact pth results should always be interpreted with caution and with consideration of the overall clinical manifestations even when used in conjunction with calcium values." mdr 1219913-2018-00133 was filed for the same event.

04/20/2018 additional information: the customer's calibration and control data does not indicate an issue that would elevate sample recovery.The patient sample was not evaluated to see if there is an interferent present.The customer is unable to provide any medical history for the patients or the calcium values for the patient samples.With the information provided there is no way to determine if the advia centaur xp ipth value is elevated or the alternate method ipth value is depressed.There is no sample available to evaluate.Siemens makes no claims regarding how the advia centaur xp ipth assay recovers when compared to the alternate method ipth assay.The ifu states in the limitation section: "the advia centaur ipth assay will detect non-intact pth (1-84) such as pth fragment (7-84).Pth fragment (7-84) may cause falsely elevated ipth results in patients with abnormal renal function because these patients may have various concentrations of pth fragment (7-84) in their blood.In patients with abnormal renal function, interpret the ipth result with caution, and do not make patient management decisions on the ipth result alone.A study of characterized pth fragments is provided in lopez et al (selected reaction monitoring-mass spectrometric immunoassay responsive to parathyroid hormone and related variants)." the cause for the discordant ipth results is unknown.The instrument is performing within specifications.No further evaluation of the device is required.Mdr 1219913-2018-00133 supplemental report 1 was filed for the same event.
