| Issue: | Previously unknown drug interferences from Sulfasalazine and Sulfapyridine have been identified. ALT and Glucose-STAT are IVD products designed for the quantitative determination of Alanine aminotransferase (ALT) or Glucose on the Beckman Coulter AU series of analysers. There is a possibility that drug interferences from administration of Sulfasalazine to patients may generate false low (ALT) results and false low Glucose-Stat results . Sulfapyridine may generate false high Glucose-Stat results. |
