  • Causa
    We have to inform you that we observe an overestimation of approximately 10% of free bhcg concentration only in diluted samples or controls when using b-r-a-h-m-s free bhcg kryptor kit lot 09075 or 09073. this may lead to incorrect risk estimation for fetal chromosomal abnormalities. a patient may be considered at higher risk for trisomy 21 or at lower risk for trisomy 13/18. as dilutions are only necessary in samples with very high concentration of free bhcg it is anticipated that only a very small number of patients may be affected by such an error in risk assessment. however, the consequences of additional or different treatment/investigation decisions need to be considered. the impact of an incorrect risk results is mitigated by the fact that free bhcg measurement is not interpreted by its own but only in conjunction with other laboratory and clinical findings as advised by labeling.
