| Issue: | Siemens Healthcare Diagnostics has confirmed a high bias on results greater than 30 ng/mL (95.4 nmol/L) when compared to the master curve when using affected ADVIA Centaur® Progesterone kit lots. The high bias may cause neat serum samples with results greater than 60 ng/mL (190.8 nmol/L) to recover within the assay range upon dilution (dilution factor applied). On the ADVIA Centaur Systems, for samples greater than 30 ng/mL (95.4 nmol/L), customers may observe an average dilution recovery between 48.3% and 105.0%. |
