Description:
MERISCREEN Malaria Pf/Pan Ag test kit is an in-vitro diagnostic immunochromatographic assay for the qualitative detection of infection by Plasmodium falciparum (through P. falciparum-specific HRP2 antigens) and P. falciparum, P. vivax, P. malariae, P. ovale (through pan-pLDH antigens) in human capillary and/or venous whole blood specimens. It does not assess parasite densities.
The assay is intended for trained users (in either laboratory or point-of-care settings) and for the diagnosis of malaria infection in symptomatic patients Note: Malaria RDTs can give positive results after successful anti-malarial treatment. Therefore, MERISCREEN Malaria Pf/Pan Ag test kit is not recommended for monitoring response to anti-malarial treatment.
