Dog Allergy Rapid Test (1 pc/box)

Dog Allergy Rapid Test

The Dog Allergy Rapid Test is intended for the qualitative detection of dog allergen-specific immunoglobulin E (sIgE) in human serum, plasma, or whole blood. When used in conjunction with other clinical observations, this test can assist in identifying dog allergen-specific IgE-mediated (Type I) hypersensitivity reactions.

Allergies are a common health issue, affecting approximately 20–25% of the population, and can lead to immediate hypersensitivity reactions such as hay fever, hives, eczema, gastrointestinal disorders, wheezing, and in rare cases, anaphylactic shock. The term "allergy" typically refers to Type I hypersensitivity reactions, which usually manifest symptoms within 30–60 minutes of allergen exposure.

Many people believe that pet hair is the cause of their allergy symptoms, but contrary to popular belief, dog hair is not the primary allergen. The main allergenic proteins are found in a dog's saliva. Individuals allergic to dogs may develop rashes, hives, or watery eyes when in contact with dog saliva. In many cases, symptoms may be mild, and people may still live with dogs if their allergy is properly managed. This product is intended for professional use only.

Instructions for Using the Lancet

1. Remove the yellow single-use lancet from its packaging.

2. Twist off the transparent cap.

3. Press it against the fingertip – the needle will activate automatically.

Test Procedure

Read the instructions carefully before performing the test! Allow all components of the kit to reach room temperature (15°C-30°C) before use.

Collect samples strictly as described in the instruction manual.

After sample collection:

1. Open the sealed pouch and place the cassette on a clean, level surface. Label the test with the patient's or control's ID. For best results, use the test within one hour of opening.

2A For serum or plasma samples:
Hold the pipette vertically and add 2 drops (~50μL) into the sample well (S), then start the timer.

2B For whole blood samples:
Hold the pipette vertically and add 3 drops (~75μL) of whole blood into the sample well (S), followed by 1 drop of buffer (~40μL), and start the timer. Avoid air bubbles and do not allow any liquid to enter the result window.

3. The colored solution will migrate across the membrane.

4. Wait for the colored lines to appear. Read the result after 10 minutes. Results read after 15 minutes are considered invalid.

Result Interpretation

• Positive: Two red lines appear - one in the control region (C), and one in the test region (T).
  A faint line in the test region (T), regardless of intensity, indicates a positive result.

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

• Invalid: No line appears in the control region (C), or only a line in the test region (T). This is likely due to insufficient sample or incorrect usage.

Test Performance

• Positive agreement: >99.9%

• Negative agreement: 97.4%

• Overall agreement: 98.3%
