Manufacturer Narrative
The instructions for use for the hemosil acustar anti-cardiolipin igg assay advises that definitive clinical diagnosis cannot be made on the basis of an acl igg positive result alone, and patient history and clinical findings must be considered.An investigation is currently in progress and a follow-up report will be filed upon conclusion of the investigation.
 
Event Description
Customer reported that two pregnant patients were diagnosed with antiphospholipid syndrome based on a positive anti-cardiolipin igg (acl igg) results on the acl acustar and subsequently treated with low molecular weight heparin and acetylsalicylic acid/aspirin.During their pregnancy, each woman developed a uterine hematoma.Anticoagulation therapy was stopped after hematomas occurred.Additionally, one of the patients also experienced a spontaneous abortion at (b)(6) of gestation; however, the customer indicated that it was not possible to definitely determine the underlying cause of the aborted pregnancy, as she was a high-risk patient with previous miscarriages.
