• One step procedure minimizes operator error due to sample preparation
• Test result within 15 minutes allows medical professionals to take immediate action
• High level of reproducibility
• Test kits can be used and stored in a wide range of temperatures

Intended use of Typhoid IgG/IgM Combo Rapid Test:

The OnSite Typhoid IgG/IgM Combo Rapid Test is a lateral flow immunoassay for the detection and differentiation of IgG and IgM antibodies to Salmonella typhi (S. typhi) and paratyphi in human serum, plasma, or whole blood. It is intended to be used by professionals as an aid in the diagnosis of infection with S. typhi and paratyphi.

Any use or interpretation of this preliminary test result must also rely on other clinical findings and the professional judgment of health care providers. Alternative test method(s) should be considered to confirm the test result obtained by this device.

OnSite Typhoid IgG/IgM Combo Rapid Test:

The Typhoid IgG/IgM Combo Rapid Test is an immunochromatographic assay designed for the qualitative detection and differentiation of specific IgM and IgG antibodies against the Salmonella typhi OMP antigen in human serum or plasma. Here are the key details about this test:

Purpose: The test serves as a screening tool and aids in the diagnosis of typhoid fever caused by Salmonella typhi.

Procedure: It can be performed within 15-20 minutes by minimally skilled personnel, without the need for laboratory equipment.

Clinical Use:

• Screening: Professionals use it as a preliminary test for individuals presenting with clinical signs or symptoms consistent with acute typhoid infection.
• Diagnostic Aid: The results obtained should not be the sole determinant for clinical decisions n; they should be interpreted alongside other clinical findings.

Advantages:

• Early and Specific Diagnosis: It allows for early and specific diagnosis of typhoid fever.
• Fast, Simple, and Reliable: The test is straightforward to perform, requires no additional sample preparation, and doesn’t need special equipment.
• Easy Interpretation: Results are easy to interpret.
• Minimal Sample Volume: Only a small sample volume is needed.

Storage and Stability:

• Store the test at 4-30°C (do not freeze).
• Keep it away from direct sunlight, moisture, and heat.

Sample Collection and Preparation:

• Handle all specimens as potentially infectious.
• Specimens (serum or plasma) should be collected aseptically by venipuncture.
• Avoid using grossly lipemic or turbid samples.
• If specimens cannot be tested immediately, refrigerate them at 2 to 8°C.
