App-derived interpretation

Unknown reason.no_named_rule · v1.0.0
Abbott has confirmed that a performance shift in the ARCHITECT Intact PTH assay has the potential to generate falsely elevated results on patient samples. Results generated with impacted lots may demonstrate a positive shift relative to those generated with previous calibrator and/or control lots. The issue may also impact your established ARCHITECT Intact PTH reference ranges. Abbott ARCHITECT In
