English term or phrase: high negative influenza virus
From an IFU for an influenza RT-PRC assay:

The intra-laboratory reproducibility of the XX Influenza A and B assay was evaluated at 3
laboratory sites. Reproducibility was assessed using a panel of 6 simulated samples that include medium
(10x LoD), ***high negative (C20-60 concentration) influenza A virus***, influenza B virus, positive and negative
control samples. Panels and controls were tested at each site by 2 operators for 5 days (8 samples and 3
controls × 2 operators × 5 days × 3 sites = 330).

A “high negative” sample aiming to represent the analyte concentration below the clinically established cut-off such that results of repeated tests of this sample are negative approximately 95% of the time and results are positive approximately 5% of the time, C5 concentration (e.g., for real–time PCR assays, a sample with an analyte concentration not more than 10 fold below the clinical cutoff of the assay).
