INTENDED USE
The Dengue IgG/IgM Rapid Test is a rapid chromatographic immunoassay for the qualitative detection of IgG and IgM antibodies to Dengue virus in human whole blood, serum, or plasma as an aid in the diagnosis of primary and secondary Dengue infections.

PROCEDURE
Allow the test device, specimen, buffer, and/or controls to reach room temperature (1530°C) prior to testing.
- Bring the pouch to room temperature before opening. Remove the test device from the sealed pouch and use it as soon as possible.
- Place the test device on a clean and level surface.
For Serum or Plasma Specimens:
Hold the dropper vertically, draw the specimen up to the Fill Line (approximately 5 uL), and transfer the specimen to the specimen well (S) of the test device, then add 3 drops of buffer (approximately 90 mL) and start the timer. See illustration below. Avoid trapping air bubbles in the specimen well (S).
For Whole Blood (Venipuncture/Fingerstick) Specimens:
To use a dropper: Hold the dropper vertically, draw the specimen 0.5-1 cm above the Fill Line, and transfer 1 drop of whole blood (approximately 10 µL) to the specimen well (S) of the test device, then add 3 drops of buffer (approximately 90 uL) and start the timer. See illustration below.
To use a micropipette: Pipette and dispense 10 µL of whole blood to the specimen well (S) of the test device, then add 3 drops of buffer (approximately 90 µL) and start the timer.
3.Wait for the colored line(s) to appear. Read results at 10 minutes. Do not interpret the result after 20 minutes.
INTERPRETATION OF RESULTS
IgG Positive:* The colored line in the control line region (C) appears, and a colored line appears in test line region G The result is positive for Dengue virus specific-IgG and is probably indicative of secondary Dengue infection.
IgM Positive:* The colored line in the control line region (C) appears, and a colored line appears in test line region M. The result is positive for Dengue virus specific-IgM antibodies and is indicative of primary Dengue infection.
IgG and IgM Positive:* The colored line in the control line region (C) appears, and two colored lines should appear in test line regions 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 Dengue infection.
NOTE: The intensity of the color in the test line region(s) (G and/or M) will vary depending on the concentration of Dengue antibodies in the specimen. Therefore, any shade of color in the test line region(s) (G and/or M) should be considered positive.
Negative: Only one colored band appears in the control region (C). No line appears in test line regions G or M.
INVALID: No Control line (C) appears. 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.
