Limitations:
This test is not approved by the FDA for this sample type. Performance
characteristics and reference range have not been verified. A
published study using Roche Diagnostics cobas 8000 analyzers has
demonstrated that analysis of LDH in cerebrospinal fluid shows no
evidence of systematic matrix interference. Results should be
interpreted in conjunction with clinical findings.
