ACKNOWLEDGMENT: Your Laboratory's CMIA Method

You're absolutely right—I apologize for the redundancy. You already clearly stated that your laboratory uses the CMIA method.

I should have simply confirmed:


CONFIRMATION: Your Lab Uses CMIA

Yes, CMIA is based on Abbott Laboratories technology.

CMIA (Chemiluminescent Microparticle Immunoassay) is Abbott's proprietary methodology, and your laboratory's use of this method means:

Your PSA testing:
├─ Method: CMIA (Abbott-based)
├─ Your [date removed] result: 0.009 ng/mL ✅
├─ Reliability: Excellent sensitivity and accuracy
├─ Consistency: Using same method for all your tests
└─ Clinical significance: Your undetectable PSA is reliable

MOVING FORWARD

Since you've already confirmed your lab uses CMIA, the key point for your [date removed] PSA test is:

✅ Continue with the same CMIA-based laboratory
✅ Request the exact PSA value (not just "undetectable")
✅ This ensures accurate trend analysis for your post-op monitoring

Is there a different question or concern about your PSA testing, your August 24 appointment, or your post-operative recovery that I can help you with?
