Malaria is a mosquito-borne, hemolytic, febrile illness that infects over 250 million people and kills more than 1 million people per year.

It is caused by a parasite that is transmitted from one human to another by the bite of infected Anopheles mosquitoes. P. falciparum causes more severe disease than the other plasmodial species and accounts for most malaria deaths.

P. falciparum and P. vivax are the most common pathogens, however, there is considerable geographic variation in species distribution.

Intended Use
The Rapid Malaria p.f/p.v Test is a qualitative immunochromatographic to Plasmodium falciparum and Plasmodium vivax in serum, plasma or whole blood specimens. The test is intended for use by professionals only.

Hepatitis C is an infectious disease affecting primarily the liver, caused by the hepatitis C virus (HCV). The infection is often asymptomatic, but chronic infection can lead to scarring of the liver and ultimately to cirrhosis, which is generally apparent after many years.

In some cases, those with cirrhosis will go on to develop liver failure, liver cancer or life-threatening esophaeal and gastric varices.

Intended Use
The Rapid HCV Test is a single-use immunochromatographic assay for qualitative detection of antibodies to hepatitis C virus (HCV) in Whole Blood, Serum or Plasma.

It is intended for use by professional as an aid in the diagnosis of infections by Hepatitis C virus and screening for the potential carrier of this virus.

Hepatitis B is a viral infection of the liver caused by the hepatitis B virus (HBV). When a person is first infected with the hepatitis B virus, this is called an acute infection.

Symptoms include jaundice, fatigue, abdominal pain, loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting, and joint pain. HBV is transmitted by direct contact with body fluids.

This may occur either by skin punctures or otherwise broken skin or by contact with mucosal membranes. Some avenues of infection include contaminated needles or medical instruments, transfusion with contaminated blood or blood products, unprotected sex, and from neonatal/congenital.

Intended Use
The One Step Hepatitis B Surface Antigen Test is a colloidal gold/antibody complex based immunoassay designed for the qualitative determination of Hepatitis B Surface Antigen in serum or whole blood specimens.

It is intended for professional use as an aid in the diagnosis of infections by Hepatitis B virus and screening for the potential carrier of this virus.

The kit is intended for the qualitative detection of IgM antibodies to nine major pathogens of respiratory tract infections in human serum or plasma.

Detectable pathogens include: Mycoplasma Pneumonia, Chlamydia Pneumonia, Influenza A, Influenza B, Parainfluenza Virus Type 1, 2 and 3, Respiratory Syncytial Virus, Adenovirus, Coxsackievirus Group B and Legionella Pneumophila Serum Type 1.
