Hepatitis C Rapid Test (1 pc/box)

Hepatitis C Rapid Test

The Hepatitis C Rapid Test is an easy-to-use, painless, and quick solution for detecting the Hepatitis C virus. It delivers reliable results within minutes from a blood sample, enabling early detection and timely treatment. Ideal for individuals exposed to risk factors such as tattoos, body piercings, blood transfusions, or intravenous drug use.

The Hepatitis C virus (HCV) is a liver infection that can lead to both acute and chronic diseases. It is primarily transmitted through blood, often via unsterilized medical equipment, blood transfusions, or intravenous drug use. It is estimated that more than 70 million people globally are living with chronic hepatitis C, which may lead to serious complications such as liver cirrhosis or liver cancer. Early detection is critical, as modern antiviral therapies offer up to a 95% cure rate. Since HCV infection often presents without symptoms, regular screening is especially important for at-risk groups.

The HCV Rapid Test is a fast and reliable method for the qualitative detection of antibodies to the Hepatitis C virus in human whole blood, serum, or plasma. It is designed exclusively for professional in vitro diagnostic use, making it an ideal choice for healthcare professionals seeking quick HCV antibody detection.

• 1 disposable dropper

• 1 capillary tube

• 1 buffer solution

Test Procedure

Read the instructions carefully before performing the test. Collect the sample as described in the instruction manual.

Ensure that all test components, reagents, samples, and/or controls are at room temperature (15°C–30°C) before use.

After sample collection:

1. Let the pouch reach room temperature before opening. Remove the test cassette and use it as soon as possible. For optimal results, perform the test within one hour of opening the pouch.

2.A For serum/plasma samples:
Hold the dropper vertically and add 1 drop of serum or plasma (approx. 25 μL) into the sample well (S), then add 2 drops of buffer (approx. 80 μL). Start the timer.

2.B For venous whole blood samples:
Hold the dropper vertically and add 2 drops of whole blood (approx. 50 μL) into the sample well (S), then add 2 drops of buffer (approx. 80 μL). Start the timer.

2.C For fingertip whole blood samples:
Use the capillary tube to collect the sample and add approx. 2 drops (50 μL) of capillary whole blood into the sample well (S), then add 2 drops of buffer (approx. 80 μL). Start the timer.

Note: Avoid air bubbles in the sample well (S) and do not add any liquid to the result window.

3. Wait for the colored line(s) to appear.

4. Read the result at 10 minutes. Results after 20 minutes are invalid.

Interpretation of Results

Positive
Two distinct colored lines appear - one in the control region (C) and one in the test region (T). A positive result indicates the presence of HCV antibodies in the sample. Note: The intensity of the color in the test line (T) may vary depending on the concentration of HCV antibodies in the sample. Any visible test line should be considered positive.

Negative
Only one colored line appears in the control region (C). No line appears in the test region (T).

Invalid
No line appears in the control region (C). This may result from insufficient sample volume, incorrect testing procedure, or expired reagents. Please review the procedure and repeat the test with a new cassette. If the issue persists, contact your local distributor.

Performance of the Hepatitis C Rapid Test

The HCV Rapid Test (whole blood/serum/plasma) was compared with CE-marked EIA or CMIA assays. The results demonstrate a relative sensitivity of 100% and a relative specificity of 100%.
