Intended Use
The Syphilis Rapid Diagnostic Test is a qualitative test for the detection of antibodies to Syphilis in human serum/plasma and whole blood. It is considered as an initial screening test for Syphilis antibodies. All positive specimens must be confirmed with Western Blot or other qualified EIA.
Principle
Syphilis Rapid Diagnostic Test is a chromatographic immunoassay (CIA) for the detection of antibodies to Syphilis in human serum or plasma. Syphilis specific antigens are precoated onto membrane as a capture reagent on the test region.
During the test, specimen is allowed to react with the colloidal gold particles, which have been labeled with Syphilis specific antigens. Antibodies to Syphilis, if present, a red colored band will develop on the membrane in proportion to the amount of Syphilis antibodies present in the specimen.
Absence of this red colored band in the test region suggests a negative result. To serve as a procedural control, a red colored band in the control region will always appear regardless the presence of antibodies to Syphilis. The RDT is simple, rapid, sensitive and specific.
Reagents and Materials Provided
☀ Blood diluent in a dropper bottle.
☀ One sealed pouched cassette with desiccant & a disposable pipe.
☀ One piece of operating instruction with 40 test pouches.
Assay Procedure
Serum or Plasma Sample
Add 2 drops of serum or plasma into sample well. Observe the result in 120 minutes.
Whole Blood Sample
Add 1 drop of whole blood into sample well, after all blood completely absorbed. Add 2 drop of whole blood diluent. Observe the result in 20 minutes.
Interpretation of Results
Negative:
No apparent band in the test region (T), Only one red band appears in the control region (C). This indicates that no TP antibodies have been detected.
Positive:
In addition to one red band in the control region (C), a red band will appear in the test region (T). This indicates that the specimen contains TP antibodies.
Invalid:
If no band appears in the control region(C), regardless of the presence or absence of band in the test region (T). It indicates a possible error in performing the test. The test should be repeated using a new device.
Storage
Store the test kits at temperature 4-30°C,in the sealed pouch for the duration of the shelf life (24 months).
Warning and Precautions
☀ FOR IN VITRO DIAGNOSTIC USES ONLY.
☀ All patient samples should be treated as if capable of transmitting diseases.
☀ Do not interchange reagents from different lots or use test kit beyond expiration date.
☀ Icteric, lipemic, hemolysed, heat treated and contaminated sera may cause erroneous results.
Precision
Within run and between run precisions have been determined by testing 10 replicates with three of the samples: a negative, a weak positive, and a strong positive sample. The negative, weaker positive, and strong positive samples were correctly identified in all of the tests every time.
