    Medical Device Safety Alert
  • Cause
    Medical device safety alert: roche diagnostics estradiol ii and estradiol iii medical device manufacturer, roche diagnostics gmbh, has issued a medical device safety alert concerning its estradiol ii and estradiol iii assays [catalogue number: 03000079190 and 06656021190; lot number: all]. according to the manufacturer, if the estradiol status of postmenopausal women under treatment with fulvestrant is tested with elecsys estradiol ii or elecsys estradiol iii assays, an interference leading to falsely increased results of estradiol due to the drug may occur. subsequently the incorrect level of estradiol may lead to misinterpretations of the hormone status and the use of fulvestrant may be altered. in addition, the efficiency of anti-estrogen treatment might be underestimated. a medical risk for postmenopausal women under fulvestrant treatment cannot be excluded. the manufacturer advises users that due to the risk of cross reactivity, this assay should not be used when monitoring estradiol levels in patients being treated with fulvestrant. affected users are advised to notify their clinicians that fulvestrant will increase the apparent concentration of estradiol in women being treated with this drug. if treatment with fulvestrant has been altered or discontinued as a result of falsely elevated estradiol results, an alternate method such as liquid chromatography mass spectrometry (lc-ms), which is not expected to show cross reactivity to fulvestrant, should be used to measure estradiol concentrations and assess the menopausal status of the patient. according to the local supplier, the affected products are distributed in hong kong. if you are in possession of the affected products, please contact your supplier for necessary actions. posted on 2 march 2016.
