| Issue: | There is a possibility that drug interferences from administration of Metamizole (Dipyrone) to patients may generate false low results. Metamizole (Dipyrone) has been identified as an interferent which may cause false low results in the following assays: Cholesterol OSR6X16, Triglyceride OSR6X118, Uric Acid OSR6X98, Lactate OSR6X93, Enzymatic Creatinine OSR6x204 and Lipase OSR6X30. This is a previously undocumented interferent. These interferences are based on a chemical interaction with the Trinder reaction, similar to NAC interference previously identified by Beckman Coulter. |
