Feline Immunodeficiency Virus Antibody Veterinary FPV Rapid Test Kit 10-30 Minute

【INTENDED USE】

The Feline Parvovirus (FPV) Antigen Rapid Test Kit is a chromatographic immunoassay for the qualitative detection of Feline Parvovirus antigen in feline stool(feces).

【PRINCIPLE】

The invisible anti-FPV antibody (T line) and secondary antibody (C line) are immobilized on a nitrocellulose membrane in result window.Another anti-FPV antibody is conjugated with colloidal gold particle and immobilized on glass fiber as conjugate pad.When specimen is applied into the sample well on device, FPV antigen will bind to the gold conjugate and migrate on the surface of test strip by passive diffusion,and a visible T line will appear in result window after 10 minutes.The C line has to appear every time when the test has performed which indicates the test is performing properly.

【CONTENTS】

• Rapid Test

• Buffer in Tube

• Swab

• Instruction for use

【STORAGE AND STABILITY】

• The kit should be stored at 2-30°C until the expiry date printed on the sealed pouch.

• The test must remain in the sealed pouch until use.

• Keep away from direct sunlight, moisture and heat.

• Do not freeze.

• Care should be taken to protect the components of the kit from contamination.

Do not use if there is evidence of microbial contamination or precipitation. Biological contamination of dispensing equipment, containers or reagents can lead to false results.

【OPERATION】

Bring tests, specimens, buffer and/or controls to room temperature (15- 30°C) before use.

1. Use swab to collect feline stool (feces), then insert the swab into the assay buffer tube.

2. Mix the swab until the specimen has been dissolved totally into the assay buffer (Appx. 10s), then squeeze the solution from the cotton swab as much as possible.

3. Discard the cotton swab and cover the tube with cap, then wait for 2 minutes.

4. Remove the test from its sealed pouch, and place it on a clean, level surface. Label the cassette device with patient or control identification.

5. Add 3 drops of assay buffer into the sample well on device, drop by drop vertically, and start the timer.

6. Wait for the colored band(s) to appear. The result should be read at 10 minutes. Do not interpret the result after 15 minutes.
 

【INTERPRETATION OF RESULTS】

POSITIVE: The presence of two lines as control line (C) and test line (T) within the result window indicates a positive result. NEGATIVE: The presence of only control line (C) within the result window indicates a negative result.

INVALID: If the control line (C) is not visible within the result window after performing the test, the result is considered invalid. Some causes of invalid results are because of not following the directions correctly or the test may have deteriorated beyond the expiration date. It is recommended that the specimen be re-tested using a new test.

【PRECAUTIONS】

• The test kit is for feline use only. Do not use for otheranimals.

• The device is sensitive to humidity and heat. Performthetest immediately after removing it fromthe foil pouch.

• Read the instructions carefully before operationandfollowthe instructions.

• Do not reuse the test components

• Do not use the test kit if the pouch is damagedor thesealisbroken.

• Do not use the test kit beyond the stated expirationdatemarked on the label.

• Do not mix components from different lot numbersbecausethe components in this kit have been quality control testedasstandard batch unit.

• All specimens should be handled as being potentiallyinfectious.

• Decontaminate and dispose of all specimens, usedkitsandpotentially contaminated materials safely in accordancewithnational and local regulations.

【TEST LIMITATIONS】

• This kit can provide fast and easy way to get aresult, butdonot completely exclude the possibility of a lowincidenceoffalse results which occur by various factors,veterinariansshould also consider other clinical symptoms andlaboratorydiagnostic methods to make the definite diagnosis.

• The kit will only indicate the presence of felineparvovirusin the specimen or not..

• A negative result may be obtained if the concentrationofthefeline parvovirus present in the specimen is not adequateorisbelow the detectable level of the test.
