CRYPTOCOCCAL ANTIGEN LATERAL FLOW ASSAY, IMMY, Lateral Flow Assay for the Detection of Cryptococcal Antigen in serum and CSF, REF CR2003, IVD, UDI: (01)00816387020919
Hazard / Issue
The firm found immunoassay products used to detect cryptococcal antigen in serum and cerebrospinal fluid to have reduced specificity (90% now versus 99% before). As a result, a small number of samples with positive test results may be false positives, which may cause some patients to initiate unnecessary anti-fungal therapy. Samples with negative test results are NOT affected.
