The initial reporter stated they received questionable results for an unspecified number of patient samples tested with elecsys (b)(6) igm on a cobas 8000 e 801 module.
The result interpretation assigned to these samples from the analyzer software did not appear to be correct as the interpretation did not agree with the cutoff values documented in product labeling.
The customer provided examples of (b)(6)igm results from two pooled patient samples and the result interpretation for these samples were discrepant.
No incorrect results were reported outside of the laboratory as the customer was using pooled samples to validate the system software.
The first sample resulted with an (b)(6) igm value of 0.
926 coi.
The analyzer software assigned a result interpretation of "non reactive".
Based on product labeling, the interpretation for this value should be "borderline" as the cutoff values for "borderline" are > = 0.
90 coi and < 1.
10 coi.
The second sample resulted with an (b)(6) igm value of 1.
02 coi.
The analyzer software assigned a result interpretation of "reactive".
Based on product labeling, the interpretation for this value should be "borderline" as the cutoff values for "borderline" are > = 0.
90 coi and < 1.
10 coi.
The e 801 analyzer serial number is (b)(4).
