The patient sample was tested both neat and on-board diluted 1:200.The neat value was within the assay range of 2-1000 miu/ml (iu/l) and the on-board 1:200 dilution recovered above range at 1359 miu/ml (iu/l).The advia centaur cp thcg assay has an over-dilution set-point of 5 miu/ml (iu/l).When this sample was diluted 1:200 it resulted just above this threshold and when the calculation was applied the value was discordant when compared to the neat value.The dilutions section of the advia centaur cp thcg instructions for use states: "serum samples with hcg values greater than 1000 miu/ml (iu/l) must be diluted and retested to obtain an accurate result." this customer runs their thcg samples both neat and diluted and normally reports the neat value when the result is within assay range.This was an isolated event at the laboratory and the thcg assay performance is acceptable.A potential product issue was not identified.Customer is operational.No further investigation is required.
