Additional Manufacturer Narrative
The customer contacted the siemens customer care center (ccc) to report discordant, falsely low advia centaur tsh3-ultra (tsh3-ul) results obtained on patient samples.Siemens has reviewed the information provided.The advia centaur tsh3-ultra (tsh3-ul) assay uses different antibodies than the centaur tsh3 ultra assay.The advia centaur tsh result of 3.0 uiu/ml and the data evaluated suggests a genetic variant is present in both samples.The instruction for use (ifu) in the limitation section states the following: "as with any immuno-recognition measurement of a peptide, extremely rare genetic variants may exhibit varying degrees of detection." based on the investigation, a product performance issue is not confirmed.No further evaluation of the device is required.Mdr 1219913-2020-00060 (sample 2) was filed for the same event.
