The Cobas HCV Test is an in vitro nucleic acid amplification assay designed for the detection and quantitation of Hepatitis C virus (HCV) RNA in human EDTA plasma or serum. It is indicated for use in individuals with antibody evidence of HCV, including those with liver disease or suspected active infection, to aid in the diagnosis and management of patients undergoing anti-viral therapy.
This assay is validated for the detection and quantitation of HCV genotypes 1 through 6. It is intended to measure HCV RNA levels at baseline and throughout the course of treatment to determine viral response, though it is not approved for screening blood or blood products. Results must be interpreted by clinical professionals in the context of all relevant laboratory and clinical findings.
