The customer observed a falsely elevated digoxin (ln 1p32) result for one patient on the architect i2000sr analyzer.The following data was provided from (b)(6): sid (b)(6), initial 3.5 nmol/l.The doctor took the patient off digoxin for 2 weeks to monitor, yet the patient continued to have critically high levels of digoxin.On (b)(6): result: 3.5 nmol/l; at another hospital (on siemens analyzer) sample resulted as 0.2 nmol/l.On (b)(6): result: 3.2 nmol/l; at another hospital (unknown method) the sample resulted as 0.3 nmol/l.No other patient details were provided.

Further investigation of the customer issue included a review of the complaint text, a search for similar complaints, review of the design history file, a review of labeling, accuracy testing and interference testing.No adverse trend, non-conformance, potential non-conformance, or deviations were identified for the customer's issue.An internal panel was tested with retained kits of the likely cause reagent lot and accuracy testing met all specifications.An interference study was performed to determine if the drug xtandi (enzalutamide) interfered with the architect idigioxin assay.In samples absent of digoxin, the test results showed pseudo-digoxin was present at all concentrations.In measured concentrations of digoxin at 0.8 ng/ml and 2.0 ng/ml, cross reactivity was observed at 4mg/ml of enzalutamide for serum and k2-edta samples.Additionally, at 1mg/l of enzalutamide at both digoxin concentrations interference greater than 10percent was detected with serum samples.The idigioxin package insert has claims for interfering substances, however at the launch of the product, enzalutamide (xtandi) was not one of the interfering substances tested.The architect idigoxin reagent package insert will be updated to include enzalutamide interference and is being tracked through pcn cc16/550.Based on all available information and abbott diagnostics' complaint investigation no product deficiency was identified.
