15 TSH Assays in Australia Examples

16 TSH Comparison RPAH Immulite Vs Roche non pregnant samples TSH y = x R² = Immulite Roche Modular

17 Fresh Data from Hobart Immulite vs Roche TSH (last week) Cobas Immulite y = x R² = Series1 Linear (Series1) Cobas 3 2 y = x R² = Series1 Linear (Series1) Linear (Series1) Immulite 4 6 Data provided by Parameswaran, Venkateswaran in Hobart

18 6 TSH Roche TSH 5 4 y = x R² = TSH Linear (TSH) Immulite TSH Data From RPAH Immulite Vs Roche TSH Matched for FT4 Pregnant samples

28 Harmonised TSH looks to be very promising for TSH Assays Can we implement an All procedures trimmed mean recalibration and harmonise the Reference intervals?

29 What About FT4 and FT3? Do we wait for standardisation to be complete and assays to be recalibrated? This could be slow because of reluctance to re-register assays by the Manufacturers. All assays will increase 30-50% what will be the clinicians reaction?

30 Roche Single step assay

31 15 th IFCC-Conference Clinical Chemistry and Laboratory Medicine Barcelona Spain 2003

32 Just using assay specific Reference ranges, would we diagnose the same patients?
