Intended Use

The Dengue IgG and IgM Combo Rapid Test is a qualitative test for the detection of IgG and IgM Antibodies to dengue virus in human serum plasma ,or whole blood.

The test provides a differential detection of anti-dengue IgG and anti-dengue-IgM antibodies and can be used for the presumptive distinction between a primary and secondary dengue infection. This test is for In-Vitro Diagnostic use only.

Principle

Serum, plasma, or Whole blood samples may be used with this test. A sample is dispensed on to the membrane The sample then migrates by capillary action towards the test site where anti-Human IgG and anti-Human IgM are immobilized as two distinct lines. The IgG & IgM antibodies present in the sample will bind to the immobilized anti-Human IgG and Anti-Human IgM lines on the membrane.

Next the sample buffer is applied which in turn reconstitutes the dried Dengue gold conjugate. The Dengue conjugate then migrates towards the test zone and binds to Dengue Anti-Human IgG and Dengue Anti-Human IgM complex on the membrane as two separate purple/blue lines if Dengue antibodies are present in the sample.

The intensity of the test lines will vary depending upon the amount of antibody present in the sample. The appearance of purple/blue line in a specific test region (IgG or IgM) should be considered as positive for that particular Antibody type (IgG or IgM).

There will be a third control line on the membrane which will be invisible until the test is run. It will show up as a Red control line to indicate that the test is functioning properly.

Materials Required But Not Provided

☀ Stop watch.

☀ Adjustable 0.5 - 10μl pipette (adjustable)

Reagents and Materials Provided

☀ 40 pouched cassettes with desiccant.

☀ Dropper bottle of sample diluent buffer.

☀ One operating instruction.

Interpretation of Results

☀ Negative:

The control line is the only line visible in the test zone. No IgG or IgM antibodies were detected. The result does not exclude dengue infection. A new sample should be drawn from the patient in 3-5 days and then should be retested.

☀ IgG Positive:

The control line and G line are visible in the test zone. The test is positive for IgG antibodies. This is indicative of a past dengue infection.
 

☀ IgM Positive:

The control line and M line are visible in the test zone. The test is positive for IgM antibodies. This is indicative of a primary dengue infection.
 

☀ IgM and IgG Positive:

The control line, M and G lines are visible in the test zone. The test is positive for IgM and IgG antibodies. This is indicative of a secondary dengue infection (see limitation).

☀ Invalid:

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.

Performance Characteristics

1.A panel of samples containing confirmed positive and negative samples were used. The reference test kit used was from Pan Bio (Australia). The results are tabulated below.

2. CROSS REACTIVITY: No cross reactivity was observed with Hemoglobin (20 mg/100 ml) , and Triglycerides (500 mg/100 ml).
