A rapid test for the qualitative detection of circulating antigens
of P. falciparum (P.f.), P. vivax (P.v.), P. ovale (P.o.), and P.
malariae (P.m.) in whole blood. For professional in vitro
diagnostic use only.
Applications:
The Malaria P.f./P.v./Pan Rapid Test Cassette (Whole Blood) is a
rapid chromatographic immunoassay for the qualitative detection of
four kinds of circulating Plasmodium falciparum (P.f.), P. vivax
(P.v.), P. ovale (P.o.), and P. malariae (P.m.) in whole blood.
Description:
Malaria is caused by a protozoan which invades human red blood
cells. Malaria is one of the world’s most prevalent diseases.
According to the WHO, the worldwide prevalence of the disease is
estimated to be 300-500 million cases and over 1 million deaths
each year.
Most of these victims are infants, young children. Over half of the
world’s population lives in malarious areas. Microscopic analysis
of appropriately stained thick and thin blood smears has been the
standard diagnostic technique for identifying malaria infections
for more than a century. The technique is capable of accurate and
reliable diagnosis when performed by skilled microscopists using
defined protocols.
The skill of the microscopist and use of proven and defined
procedures, frequently present the greatest obstacles to fully
achieving the potential accuracy of microscopic diagnosis. Although
there is a logistical burden associated with performing a
time-intensive, labor-intensive, and equipment-intensive procedure
such as diagnostic microscopy, it is the training required to
establish and sustain competent performance of microscopy that
poses the greatest difficulty in employing this diagnostic
technology.
The Malaria P.f./P.v./Pan Rapid Test Cassette (Whole Blood) is a
rapid test to qualitatively detect the presence of P. falciparum -
specific HRP-II, P. vivax (P.v.) and four kinds of circulating
plasmodium falciparum (P.f.), P. vivax (P.v.), P. ovale (P.o.), and
P. malariae (P.m.). The test utilizes colloid gold conjugate to
selectively detect P.f-specific, P. vivax (P.v.) and Pan-malarial
antigens (P.f., P.v., P.o. and P.m.) in whole blood.
How to use?
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.
· Use a pipette: To transfer 5 μl of whole blood to the specimen
well (S), then add 3 drops of buffer (approximately 180 μl) to the
buffer well (B) and start the time.
· Use a disposal specimen dropper: Hold the dropper vertically;
draw the specimen up to the upper end of the nozzle as shown in
illustration below (approximately 5 μl). Transfer the specimen to
the specimen well (S), then add 3 drops of buffer (approximately
180 μl) to the buffer well (B) and start the timer.
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 or Three or Four distinct colored lines appear.
P. falciparum Infection (Either of the results):
One line appears in the control region, one line appears in P.f.
line region.
One line appears in the control region, one line appears in P.f.
line region and one line appears in Pan line region.
P. vivax Infection (Either of the results):
One line appears in the control region, one line appears in P.v.
line region.
One line appears in the control region, one line appears in P.v.
line region and one line appears in Pan line region.
Non-P. falciparum/ Non-P. vivax Infection:
One line appears in the control region, one line appears in Pan
line region. Mixed malaria infection:
One line appears in the control region, one line appears in P.f.
line region, and one line appears in P.v. line region.
One line appears in the control region, one line appears in P.f.
line region, one line appears in P.v. line region and one line
appears in Pan line region.
*NOTE: The color intensity of P.f., P.v. or Pan Test lines may vary
depending on the concentration of antigens, viz., HRP-II, P.v. LDH
or Plasmodium-specific LDH present in the specimen.
NEGATIVE: Only one colored line appears in the control region.
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 device. If the problem persists, discontinue using the
test kit
immediately and contact your local distributor.
