For cobas e 411 analyzer: test number 710

 For cobas e 601 and cobas e 602 analyzers: Application Code Number 133

Please note

The measured anti‑Tg value of a patient's sample can vary depending on the testing procedure used. The laboratory finding must therefore always contain a statement on the anti‑Tg assay method used. Anti‑Tg values determined on patient samples by different testing procedures cannot be directly compared with one another and could be the cause of erroneous medical interpretations. If there is a change in the anti‑Tg assay procedure used while monitoring therapy, then the anti‑Tg values obtained upon changing over to the new procedure must be confirmed by parallel measurements with both methods.

Intended use

Immunoassay for the in vitro quantitative determination of antibodies to thyroglobulin in human serum and plasma. The anti‑Tg determination is used as an aid in the detection of autoimmune thyroid diseases. The electrochemiluminescence immunoassay “ECLIA” is intended for use on Elecsys and cobas e immunoassay analyzers.
