Description:
HIV is the etiologic agent of Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome
(AIDS). The virion is surrounded by a lipid envelope that is
derived from host cell membrane. Several viral glycoproteins are on
the envelope. Each virus contains two copies of positive-sense
genomic RNAs. HIV 1 has been isolated from patients with AIDS and
AIDS-related complex, and from healthy people with high potential
risk for developing AIDS.
HIV 2 has been isolated from West African AIDS patients and from
seropositive asymptomatic individuals. Both HIV 1 and HIV 2 elicit
immune response.3 Detection of HIV antibodies in serum, plasma is
the most efficient and common way to determine whether an individual has been exposed to HIV and to screen blood and blood
products for HIV. Despite the differences in their biological
characteristics, serological activities and genome sequences, HIV 1
and HIV 2 show strong antigenic cross-reactivity. Most HIV 2
positive sera can be identified by using HIV 1 based serological
tests.
The HIV 1.2 Rapid Test Cassette (Serum/Plasma) is a rapid test to
qualitatively detect the presence of antibody to HIV 1 and/or HIV 2
in serum or plasma specimen. The test utilizes latex conjugate and
multiple recombinant HIV proteins to selectively detect antibodies
to the HIV 1.2 in serum or plasma.
How to use?
IHI-301
Allow the test, specimen, buffer and/or controls to reach room
temperature
(15-30°C) prior to testing.
1. Bring the pouch to room temperature before opening it. Remove
the test cassette from the sealed pouch and use it as soon as
possible.
2. Place the cassette on a clean and level surface.
For Serum or Plasma specimen: Hold the dropper vertically and
transfer 1 drop of serum or plasma (approximately 25μL) to the
specimen area, then add 1 drop of buffer (approximately 40μL),and
start the timer, see illustration below.
3. Wait for the colored line(s) to appear. Read results at 10
minutes. Do not interpret the result after 20 minutes.
For IHI-401:
Allow the test, specimen, buffer and/or controls to reach room
temperature (15-30°C) prior to testing.
1. Bring the pouch to room temperature before opening it. Remove
the test dipstick from the sealed pouch and use it as soon as
possible.
2. For Serum or Plasma specimen: Hold the dropper vertically and
transfer 1 drop of serum or plasma (approximately 25μL) to the
specimen area, then add 1 drop of buffer (approximately 40 μL ),and
start the timer, see ilustration below.
For Venipuncture Whole Blood specimen: Hold the dropper vertically
and transfer 2 drops of whole blood (approximately 50uL) to the
specimen area, then add 2 drops of buffer (approximately 80μL), and
start the timer. See ilustration below.
For Fingerstick Whole Blood specimen:
●To use a capillary tube: Fill the capillary tube and transfer
approximately 50μL of fingerstick whole blood specimen to the
specimen area of test dipstick, then add 2 drops of buffer
(approximately 80 μL) and start the timer. See ilustration below.
●To use hanging drops: Allow 2 hanging drops of fingerstick whole
blood specimen (approximately 50μL) to fall into the specimen area
of test dipstick, then add 2 drops of buffer (approximately 80 μL)
and start the timer. See ilustration below.
3. Wait for the colored line(s) to appear. Read results at 10
minutes. Do not interpret the result
For IHI-402:
Allow the test, specimen, buffer and/or controls to reach room
temperature (15-30°C) prior to testing.
1. Remove the test Cassette from the sealed pouch and use it as
soon as possible.
2. Place the Cassette on a clean and level surface.
For Serum or Plasma specimen: Hold the dropper vertically and
transfer 1 drop of serum or plasma (approximately 25 μL) to the
specimen area, then add 1 drop of buffer (approximately 40 μL),and
start the timer, see illustration below.
For Venipuncture Whole Blood specimen: Hold the dropper vertically
and transfer 2 drops of whole blood (approximately 50 μL) to the
specimen area, then add 2 drops of buffer (approximately 80μL), and
start the timer. See illustration below.
For Fingerstick Whole Blood specimen:
To use a capillary tube: Fill the capillary tube and transfer
approximately 50 μL of fingerstick whole blood specimen to the
specimen area of test Cassette, then add 2 drops of buffer
(approximately 80 μL) and start the timer. See illustration below.
To use hanging drops: Allow 2 hanging drops of fingerstick whole
blood specimen (approximately 50 μL) to fall into the specimen area
of test Cassette, then add 2 drops of buffer (approximately 80 μL)
and start the timer. See illustration below.
3. Wait for the colored line(s) to appear. Read results at 10
minutes. Do not interpret the result after 20 minutes.
INTERPRETATION OF RESULTS
(Please refer to the illustration above)
POSITIVE:* Two lines appear. One colored line should be in the control line region (C) and
another apparent colored line should be in the test line region
(T).
*NOTE: The intensity of the color in the test line region (T) will vary
depending on the concentration of HIV antibodies present in the
specimen. Therefore, any shade of color in the test line region (T)
should be considered positive.
NEGATIVE: One colored line appears in the control line region (C). No line
appears in the test line region (T).
INVALID: Control line fails to appear. Insufficient specimen volume or
incorrect procedural techniques are the most likely reasons for
control line failure. Review the procedure and repeat the test with
a new test. If the problem persists, discontinue using the test
cassette immediately and contact your local distributor.
