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.
