    In specific situations, negative samples may be interpreted as positive. However, as mentioned in "conclusions of the risk assessment" there is no risk to the patient.
  • Reason
    The anti-n component of the products id-diaclon anti-n (mns2) and id-diaclon anti-m / -n, in specific conditions, may present unexpected interference with samples that do not have corresponding antigen (n negative).
  • Action
    Action code: AC 2016/01 /// The field action consists of issuing IMPORTANT FIELD COMMUNICATION /// The company recommends "not validate any positive result that presents a reaction whose force is less than 3 (according to images of the important communiqué field - annex). Negative and positive results with forces between 3+ and 4+ can be validated unconditionally. If the automatic validation function of the equipment is being used, disable the function, especially when the tests - mo45d and pr44n - are performed, because in that situation such interference can be interpreted as positive by the system. This implies that the above tests must be run separately, since it is not possible to disable automatic validation only for these two tests. The test should be repeated for results that are not clearly positive or negative. If the results are not clearly negative, the test should be repeated using an alternative method (id-profile iii). / / LETTER TO THE CLIENT IN ANNEX.
