• IFA tests are subjective and require the expertise of a skilled technician for analysis and interpretation. It is possible that the test result was truly positive, yet it was not interpreted that way. • It is also possible that the SNAP 4Dx Test may be more specific than the IFA test that the reference laboratory is using.
