Typhoid IgG/IgM Rapid Test Kit Home Use Infectious Disease Typhoid Fever
Intended Use
It is intended to be used as a screening test and as an aid in the diagnosis of infection with S. typhi. Any reactive specimen with the Typhoid IgG/IgM Rapid Test must be confirmed with alternative testing method(s).
Principle
In contrast, the Typhoid IgG/IgM Rapid Test is a simple and rapid laboratory test. The test simultaneously detects and differentiates the IgG and the IgM antibodies to S. typhi specific antigen 5 thus to aid in the determination of current or previous exposure to the S. typhi.
Reagents and Materials Provided
☀ Individual pouched cassette with desiccant and a disposable plastic pipett. ☀ Operating instruction.
Materials Required But Not Provided
☀ Stop watch. ☀ Disposable gloves. Disinfectant solution.
Specimen Collection and Handling
Consider any materials of human origin as infectious and handle them using standard biosafety procedures.
Plasma ☀ Collect blood specimen into a lavender, blue or green top collection tube by veinpuncture. ☀ Separate the plasma by centrifugation. ☀ Carefully withdraw the plasma into new pre-labeled tube.
Serum ☀ Collect blood specimen into a red top collection tube by veinpuncture. ☀ Allow the blood to clot. ☀ Separate the serum by centrifugation. ☀ Carefully withdraw the serum into a new pre-labeled tube.
Test specimens as soon as possible after collecting. Store specimens at 2°C-8°C if not tested immediately.
Store specimens at 2°C-8°C up to 5 days. The specimens should be frozen at -20°C for longer storage.
Avoid multiple freeze-thaw cycles. Prior to testing, bring frozen specimens to room temperature slowly and mix gently. Specimens containing visible particulate matter should be clarified by centrifugation before testing. Do not use samples demonstrating gross lipemia, gross hemolysis or turbidity in order to avoid interference on result interpretation.
Assay Procedure
Interpretation of Results
Negative: If only the C band presents, the absence of any burgundy color in
the both test bands (M and G) indicates that no anti-S. typhi
antibody is detected in the specimen. The result is negative or
non-reactive. IgG Positive: In addition to the presence of C band, if only G band is developed,
the test indicates for the presence of anti- S. typhi IgG in the
specimen. The result is IgG positive or reactive. IgM Positive: In addition to the presence of C band, if only M band is developed, the test indicates for the presence of anti- S. typhi IgM in the specimen. The result is IgM positive or reactive.
In addition to the presence of C band, both M and G bands are developed, the test indicates for the presence of anti-S. typhi IgG and IgM in the specimen. The result is both IgG and IgM positive or reactive.
The test results are INVALID, if no control line is visible, regardless of the presence or absence of lines in the IgG or IgM test zone of the strip. Repeat the test using a new cassette.
Storage
Store the kit between 4°C and 30°C. Do not store the kit in direct sunlight. Only remove and open the number of cassettes to be immediately used. The test kit should be used until the expiration date of the kit. Please refer to the package label for the expiration date.
Warning and Precautions
☀ For in vitro diagnostic uses only. ☀ All patient samples should be treated as if capable of transmitting diseases. ☀ Do not use test kit beyond expiration date. ☀ Icteric, lipemic, hemolysed, heat treated and contaminated specimens may cause erroneous results.
