Issue
Siemens Healthcare Diagnostics Inc. has confirmed the potential for falsely elevated hcg results due to sample carryover. This can be observed when a sample is assayed for HCG immediately after an undiluted sample with a HCG value of GT;5000 MIU/mL. This issue impacts serum and urine patient samples, as well as quality control samples and adjustors. The effect of carryover varies based on the concentration of the high HCG sample.
