  • Causa
    Siemens healthcare diagnostics has become aware of sulfasalazine and sulfapyridine drug interference in certain assays which use nadh and/or nadph to generate reduction oxidation reactions which produce colorimetric signals.Siemens has confirmed that falsely depressed or falsely elevated results may occur on samples drawn from patients taking sulfasalazine and sulfapyridine. sulfasalazine is the accepted treatment for inflammatory bowel disease, ulcerative colitis, crohn’s disease, rheumatoid arthritis, inflammatory arthritis, and uveitis. sulfapyridine is used occasionally for dermatitis herpetiformis and related skin disorders when alternative treatment is unsuitable.Due to this drug interference, siemens will update the limitations of the procedure section of the instructions for use (ifu) for specific dimension and dimension vista assays.
