Influenza A/B Rapid Test Control Kit CE

The Positivia Influenza A/B Rapid Test External Control Kit is intended for use with the Influenza A/B Rapid Test  as external assay controls to monitor test performance.

Good Laboratory Practice recommends using external controls, positive and negative, to assure the proper performance of the assay. This test is intended to be used by professionals particularly under the following circumstances

1. A new operator uses the kit, prior to performing testing of specimens
2. A new lot or shipment of test kits is used
3. The temperature during storage of the test kit falls outside of 2-30°C
4. The temperature of the testing area falls outside of 15-30°C
5. To verify a higher than expected frequency of positive or negative results
6. To investigate the cause of repeated invalid results
7. At periodic intervals as determined by the user facility

Follow the test procedure exactly as instructed in the package insert. The intensity of the test line should not be used as a reference for determination of Influenza A/B Rapid Test device quality. Some weak cross-reaction may be observed due to species homology. If invalid results are repeatedly observed, all test results obtained with the particular lot of Influenza A/B Rapid Test (REF R0187S) should be considered suspicious. Test results should not be reported until the cause of the control failure has been identified and corrected.
