Reagen 3in1 - HCV-C/HIV/syphilis test

The current increase in HIV and syphilis infections is becoming a worrying problem that is growing worldwide.

Reagen 3in1 test for hepatitis C, HIV, and syphilis is designed for reliable screening at home or in a professional setting.

Key features:

· Simple and quick testing in one test

· Results in 15 minutes

· Based on the detection of specific antibodies

· Suitable for blood samples (drop of blood)

· Complete kit contains everything needed for collection and testing

How to use the test:

1. Collect a drop of blood (usually from a finger) using the sterile lancet provided.

2. Apply the blood to the test cassette according to the instructions.

3. Add the enclosed buffer to dilute the sample.

4. Wait 15 minutes and then read the result:

· Positive: Colored lines appear indicating the presence of antibodies to HCV-C/HIV and/or syphilis

· Negative: Only the control line appears

5. Read the result within 20 minutes at the latest; later readings may not be valid.

Important notice:

· The test is indicative and does not replace laboratory diagnostics or consultation with a doctor.

· In case of a positive result, seek professional medical examination to confirm the diagnosis.

· Do not use expired or damaged tests.

· Observe hygiene measures when collecting and handling blood.

· The test is not officially approved by the State Institute for Drug Control (SÚKL) for use in a home environment, therefore we recommend that it be performed under the supervision of a healthcare professional. Lay use is possible, but instructions and hygiene must be followed.

Note:

The main difference between the following very similar tests lies in the types of infections they detect:

• HBsAg/HCV/HIV/Syphilis Combo Rapid Test Kit additionally detects the presence of hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg), which means that in addition to HCV, HIV, and syphilis, it also allows for the detection of hepatitis B virus infection.
• HCV/HIV/Syphilis Combo Rapid Test Kit does not detect HBsAg and is therefore not intended for the diagnosis of hepatitis B, but only hepatitis C, HIV, and syphilis.

Other characteristics (principle, design, sample collection, interpretation of results, storage, safety precautions) are virtually identical for both tests.
