Incorrect anti-D strengths in 24E9 report
It has come to our attention that the anti-D concentrations reported for two of the samples distributed in 24E9 were incorrect.
Patient 2
- The report stated that the anti-D concentration was 0.05 IU/mL.
- The correct concentration was 0.025 IU/mL.
- This sample was detected and identified by 100% of participants.
Patient 3
- The report stated that the anti-D concentration was 0.025 IU/mL.
- The correct concentration was 0.01 IU/mL.
- This sample was detected by 64.3% of participants and, because of the low detection rate, was withdrawn from scoring.
The corrected concentration for Patient 3 means that the anti-D level was one tenth of the required limit of detection (0.1 IU/mL), rather than one quarter as originally stated. This correction does not affect the scoring outcome, as the sample had already been withdrawn from scoring.
We sincerely apologise for this error and for any inconvenience it may have caused.
