Product Name: Colloidal Gold (Igg/Igm Antibody Detection Kit Rapid Test Device) Group: All Ages Certification: CE, EEC, MSDS Classification: Imaging Diagnostic Equipment Trademark: RUNMEI Transport Package: Carton Specification: 30 testing/box Origin: China HS Code: 3005909000 Product Description IgG/IgM Rapid Test DevicePackage Insert30 testing/boxThe IgG/IgM Rapid Test is a lateral flow immunoassay for the simultaneous detection and differentiation of IgG anti- virus and IgM anti virus in human whole blood, serum or plasma. It is intended to be used by the professionals as a screening test and as an aid in the diagnosis of infection with viruses. Any reactive specimen with the IgG/IgM Rapid Testmust be confirmed with alternative testing method(s).Viruses are enveloped RNA viruses that are distributed broadly among humans, other mammals, and birds and that cause respiratory, enteric, hepatic, and neurologic diseases.1,2Six species are known to cause human disease.3Four viruses - 229E, OC43, NL63, and HKU1 - are prevalent and typically cause common cold symptoms in immunocompetent individuals.3The two other strains - severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS-CoV) and Middle East respiratory syndrome (MERS-CoV) - are zoonotic in origin and have been linked to sometimes fatal illness.4Given the high prevalence and wide distribution of viruses, the large genetic diversity and frequent recombination of their genomes, and increasing human-animal interface activities, novelviruses are likely to emerge periodically in humans owing to frequent cross-species infections and occasional spillover events.4,5 In late December 2019, several local health facilities reported clusters of patients with pneumonia of unknown cause that were epidemiologically linked to a seafood and wet animal wholesale market in Wuhan, Hubei Province, China.6On December 31, 2019, the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention (China CDC) dispatched a rapid response team to accompany Hubei provincial and Wuhan city health authorities and to conduct an epidemiologic and etiologic investigation. We report the results of this investigation, identifying the source of the pneumonia clusters, and describe a novel virus detected in patients with pneumonia whose specimens were tested by the China CDC at an early stage of the outbreak. We also describe clinical features of the pneumonia in two of these patients.The IgG/IgM Rapid Test detects IgG and IgM anti- virus in one test within 15 minutes. The test is user friendly, without cumbersome laboratory equipment, and requires minimal staff trainings. The IgG/IgM Rapid Test Device (WholeBlood/Serum/Plasma) is a qualitative membrane-based immunoassay for the detection of antibodies in whole blood, serum, or plasma. This test consists of two components, an IgG component and an IgM component. In the Test region, anti-human IgM and IgG is coated. During testing, the specimen reacts with antigen-coated particles in the test strip. The mixture then migrates upward on the membrane chromatographically by capillary action and reacts with the anti-human IgM or IgG in test line region. If the specimen contains IgM or IgG antibodies to virus, a colored line will appear in test line region.Therefore, if the specimen contains IgM antibodies, a colored line will appear in test line region M. If the specimen contains IgG antibodies, a colored line will appear in test line regionG. If the specimen does not contain antibodies, no colored line will appear in either of the test line regions, indicating a negative result. To serve as a procedural control, a colored line will always appearedin the control line region, indicating that the proper volume of specimen has been added and membrane wicking has occurred.Individually packed test devicesEach device contains a strip with colored conjugates and reactive reagents pre-spreaded at the corresponding regionsDisposable pipettesFor adding specimens useBufferPhosphate buffered saline and preservativePackage insertFor operation instructionMaterials ProvidedTest devicesDroppersBufferPackage insertMaterials Required But Not ProvidedSpecimen collection containersTimerCentrifugeFor professional in vitro diagnostic use only.

Massage the hand without touching the puncture. Puncture the skin with a sterile lancet. Wipe away the first sign of blood. Gently rub the hand from wrist to palm to finger to form a rounded drop of blood over the puncture site.Add the Fingerstick Whole Blood specimen to the test device by using a capillary tube or hanging drops.Venous Whole Blood:Collect blood specimen into a lavender, blue or green top collection tube (containing EDTA, citrate or heparin, respectively in Vacutainer®) by veinpuncture.PlasmaCollect blood specimen into a lavender, blue or green top collection tube (containing EDTA, citrate or heparin, respectively in Vacutainer®) by veinpuncture. Separate the plasma by centrifugation. Carefully withdraw the plasma into new pre-labeled tube.SerumCollect blood specimen into a red top collection tube (containing no anticoagulants in Vacutainer®) by veinpuncture.Allow the blood to clot.Separate the serum by centrifugation.Carefully withdraw the serum into a new pre-labeled tube.Test specimens as soon as possible after collecting. Store specimens at 2°C-8°C if not tested immediately.Store specimens at 2°C-8°C up to 5 days. The specimens should be frozen at -20°C for longer storage.Avoid multiple freeze-thaw cycles. Prior to testing, bring frozen specimens to room temperature slowly and mix gently. Specimens containing visible particulate matter should be clarified by centrifugation before testing. Do not use samples demonstrating gross lipemia, gross hemolysis or turbidity in order to avoid interference on result interpretation.Bring the specimen and test components to room temperature Mix the specimen well prior to assay once thawed. Place the test device on a clean, flat surface.For capillary whole bloodsample:To use a capillary tube: Fill the capillary tube and transfer approximately 40µL (or 1 drop) of fingerstick whole blood specimen to the specimen well (S) of the test device, then add 1 drop of Sample Diluentimmediatelyinto the sample well.For whole blood sample:Fill the dropper with the specimenthen transfer1drop(about 40µL)of specimen into the sample well.Making sure that there are no air bubbles. Then transfer 1drop (about 40µL)of Sample Diluentimmediatelyinto the sample well.For Plasma/ Serum sample:Fill the dropper with the specimenthen transfer1drop (about 40µL)of specimen into the sample well. The volume is around 80µL.Making sure that there are no air bubbles. Then transfer 1drop (about 40µL)of Sample Diluentimmediatelyinto the sample well.Set up a timer. Read the result at15 minutes. Don't read result after 30minutes. To avoid confusion, discard the test device after interpreting the resultPOSITIVE RESULT:IgG Positive:* The colored line in the control line region (C) appearsand a colored line appears in test line region G(G). The result is positive for specific-IgG and is probably indicative of secondary infection.IgM Positive:* The colored line in the control line region (C) appearsand a colored line appears in test line region M (M). The result is positive for virus specific-IgM antibodies and is indicative of primary infection.IgG and IgM Positive:* The colored line in the control line region (C)appearsand two colored lines should appear in test line regions G and M (G and M). The color intensities of the lines do not have to match. The result is positive for IgG & IgM antibodies and is indicative of secondary infection.*NOTE:The intensity of the color in the test line region(s) (G and M) will vary depending on the concentration of antibodies in the specimen. Therefore, any shade of color in the test line region(s) (G and M) should be considered positive.NEGATIVE RESULT:The colored line in the control line region (C)appears. No line appears in test line regions G and M (G and M).INVALID RESULT:Control line (C)falls to appear. Insufficient buffer volume or incorrect procedural techniques are the most likely reasons for control line failure. Review the procedure and repeat the procedure with a new test device. If the problem persists, discontinue using the test kit immediately and contact your local distributor.1. Internal Control: This test contains a built-in control feature, the C band. The C linedevelops after adding specimenand sample diluent. Otherwise, review the whole procedure and repeat test with a new device.2. External Control:Good Laboratory Practice recommends using the external controls, positive and negative (provided upon request), to assure the proper performing of the assay.1.

Failure to follow the procedure may give inaccurate results.The IgG/IgM Rapid Test is limited to the qualitative detection of antibodies to virus in human whole blood, serum or plasma. The intensity of the test band does not have linear correlation with the antibody titer in the specimen.The IgG/IgM Rapid Test can not be used to differentiate if the infection is primary or secondary. No information of serotypes can be provided with this test. A negative or non-reactive result for an individual subject indicates absence of detectable virus antibodies. However, a negative or non-reactive test result does not preclude the possibility of exposure to or infection with virus.A negative or non-reactive result can occur if the quantity of the virus antibodies present in the specimen is below the detection limits of the assay, or the antibodies that are detected are not present during the stage of disease in which a sample is collected.Some specimens containing unusually high titer of heterophile antibodies or rheumatoid factor may affect expected results.If the symptom persists, while the result from IgG/IgM Rapid Test is negative or non-reactive result, it is recommended to re-sample the patient few days late or test with an alternative test device.The results obtained with this test should only be interpreted in conjunction with other diagnostic procedures and clinical findings.1.
