Information |
| Code: |
T108 |
| Test Name, Short: |
HCV |
| Matrix: |
Serum, potassium EDTA plasma, lithium or sodium heparinized plasma are the recommended sample types for this assay |
| Turnaround Time: |
Daily |
| Analytical Method: |
HCV assay is an indirect two wash sandwich immunoassay |
| Reportable - Test Results Type: |
The system reports anti-HCV results in Index Values and as reactive, nonreactive, or equivocal. Index values above the cutoff of the assay are not indicative of the antibody level present in the sample. • Samples with a calculated value of less than 0.80 Index Value are considered nonreactive (negative) for IgG antibodies to HCV. • Samples with a calculated value greater than or equal to 0.80 Index Value and less than 1.00 Index Value are considered equivocal. It is recommended that the sample be repeated in duplicate. If 2 of the 3 sample results are less than 0.80 Index Value, the sample is considered nonreactive. If 2 of the 3 sample results are greater than or equal to 1.00 Index Value, the sample is considered reactive and supplemental testing of the sample is recommended. If 2 of the 3 sample results are greater than or equal to 0.80 Index Value and less than 1.00 Index Value, supplemental testing of the sample is recommended. • Samples with a calculated value greater than or equal to 1.00 Index Value are considered reactive for IgG antibodies to HCV. |
