Z-0750-2017LightMix Zika rRT-PCR Test The LightMix Zika rRT-PCR Test is a real-time RT-PCR test intended for the qualitative detection of RNA from the Zika virus in serum or EDTA plasma from individuals meeting CDC Zika virus clinical criteria (e.g., clinical signs and symptoms associated with Zika virus infection) and/or CDC Zika virus epidemiological criteria (e.g., history of residence in or travel to a geographic region with active Zika transmission at the time of travel, or other epidemiologic criteria for which Zika virus testing may be indicated). Testing is limited to laboratories certified under the Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments of 1988 (CLIA), 42 U.S.C. 263a, to perform high complexity tests, or by similarly qualified non-U.S. laboratories. Results are for the identification of Zika virus RNA. Zika virus RNA is generally detectable in serum during the acute phase of infection (approximately 7 days following onset of symptoms, if present). Positive results are indicative of current infection. Laboratories are required to report all positive results to the appropriate public health authorities. Within the United States and its territories positive results must be reported to appropriate state/local public health authorities. Negative results do not preclude Zika virus infection and should not be used as the sole basis for patient management decisions. Negative results must be combined with clinical observations, patient history, and epidemiological information. The LightMix Zika rRT-PCR Test is intended for use by trained clinical laboratory personnel specifically instructed and trained in the techniques of realtime PCR and in vitro diagnostic procedures. The Test is only for use under the Food and Drug Administration s Emergency Use Authorization.The LightCycler 480 algorithm used for the LightMix Zika rRT-PCR Test, EUA (catalog number 07987897001) occasionally (~1% of the time) calls a positive result for a negative sample if there is an inflection point in the fluorescence signal.Class IITerminated

The test utilizes amplification of target DNA by the Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) and nucleic acid hybridization for the detection of 14 high-risk (HR) HPV types in a single analysis. The test specifically identifies types HPV16 and HPV18 while concurrently detecting the rest of the high risk types (31, 33, 35, 39, 45, 51, 52, 56, 58, 59, 66 and 68). The cobas HPV Test is indicated: (a) To screen patients 21 years and older with ASC-US (Atypical squamous cells of undetermined significance) cervical cytology test results to determine the need for referral to colposcopy. (b) To be used in patients 21 years and older with ASC-US cervical cytology results, to assess the presence or absence of high-risk HPV genotypes 16 and 18. This information, together with the physicians assessment of cytology history, other risk factors, and professional guidelines, may be used to guide patient management. The results of this test are not intended to prevent women from proceeding to colposcopy. (c) In women 30 years and older, the cobas HPV Test can be used with cervical cytology to adjunctively screen to assess the presence or absence of high risk HPV types. This information, together with the physicians assessment of cytology history, other risk factors, and professional guidelines, may be used to guide patient management. (d) In women 30 years and older, the cobas HPV Test can be used to assess the presence or absence of HPV genotypes 16 and 18. This information, together with the physicians assessment of cytology history, other risk factors, and professional guidelines, may be used to guide patient management.

There is no verification record for this company. Most companies on this site have none: a record exists only where a company asked to be verified and MDM ran the checks, so the absence of one says nothing about the company.

Where there is a record, this is where it appears: what was checked, when it was checked, and the current status. An MDM Verified badge on another website links to a verify address on this domain that resolves to this section. A badge that does not resolve here is not ours.
