Questions
What is the IDEIA Herpes Simplex Virus Test used for?
The IDEIA Herpes Simplex Virus Test is used to detect herpes simplex virus antigen in clinical specimens. It employs monoclonal antibodies specific to HSV-1 and HSV-2 and an enzyme amplification system to enhance signal detection, making it suitable for microbiological diagnosis in clinical laboratory settings.
How is the IDEIA Herpes Simplex Virus Test supplied and is it sterile?
The IDEIA Herpes Simplex Virus Test is supplied non-sterile and is intended for use in clinical laboratory settings. As an in vitro diagnostic ELISA kit, it does not require sterility since it is used outside the body on processed specimens such as serum or plasma.
Is the IDEIA Herpes Simplex Virus Test reusable or single-use?
The IDEIA Herpes Simplex Virus Test is designed for single-use. Each test kit is intended for one diagnostic run to detect HSV antigens in clinical specimens, and reagents should not be reused to avoid cross-contamination and ensure accurate results.
What regulatory pathway was used for the IDEIA Herpes Simplex Virus Test?
The IDEIA Herpes Simplex Virus Test received FDA 510(k) clearance under submission K871877, determined to be substantially equivalent to a legally marketed predicate device. It is classified as a Class II medical device under regulation number 866.3305 and product code LGC.
