Evaluation of the Clinical Performance of a Plastic Capillary Tube with the Determine HIV-1/2, Determine HIV Early Detect and Determine HBsAg 2 Rapid Tests
REFNo: HS895ES
The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the performance of a new plastic capillary tube for the transfer of a capillary finger-stick blood sample to 3 rapid test platforms; the Determine HIV-1/2 test platform, the Determine HIV Early Detect test platform and the Determine HBsAg 2 platform. The HIV and HBsAg results obtained using the new plastic capillary tubes to transfer capillary whole blood to the test devices will be evaluated against the HIV and HBsAg results obtained using a micropipette to transfer a whole blood venous sample from the EDTA Vacutainer tube to the same testing platforms, with discrepant result resolution where required. The new plastic capillary tubes have been verified in an internal performance study at the Abbott laboratories.
