Product catalog summary
Performance Characteristics
The Rotavirus Ag Rapydtest® demonstrated a relative sensitivity of 100% and a relative specificity of 97.2%, with an overall agreement of 98.1% when tested on 107 faecal samples.

Intended Use
This test is a lateral flow immunoassay designed for the qualitative detection of rotavirus antigens in faecal specimens. It serves as a screening tool and aids in diagnosing rotavirus infections.

Serotype Detection
The test specifically detects Group A rotavirus.

Cross-Reactivity
No cross-reactivity was observed with faecal specimens from patients with other gastrointestinal infections.

Reagents and Materials Provided
  • Individually sealed foil pouches with a test device and desiccant.
  • Stool collection devices with 2ml extraction buffer.
  • Plastic droppers for stool transfer.
  • Instruction manual.

Test Procedure and Interpretation
  • Positive Result: Both C and T lines develop, indicating the presence of rotavirus Ag.
  • Negative Result: Only the C line develops, indicating undetectable levels of rotavirus Ag.
  • Invalid Result: No C line development; the test must be repeated.
Results should not be read after 20 minutes to avoid confusion.

Specimen Collection and Handling
All human-origin materials should be handled as infectious, following standard biosafety procedures.

Rotavirus Ag-1

FOR THE DETECTION OF ROTAVIRUS IN FAECES Intended Use The Rotavirus Ag Rapydtest® is a lateral flow immunoassay for the qualitative detection of rotavirus antigens in faecal specimens. This device is intended to be used as a screening test and as an aid in the diagnosis of infection with rotavirus. Performance Characteristics Serotype Detection The Rotavirus Ag Rapydtest® detects Group A rotavirus. Cross-Reactivity The cross-reactivity of the Rotavirus Ag Rapydtest® was assessed by testing faecal specimens collected from patients with other gastro-intestinal infectious diseases. No cross-reactivity was observed. Clinical Performance Clinical Performance of rotavirus specimens: 107 faecal samples collected from subjects with symptomatic diarrhoea and non-diarrhoea symptoms were tested with the Rotavirus Ag Rapydtest® and with a reference rapid test. Comparison for all subjects is shown in the table. Relative Sensitivity: 100% Relative Specificity: 97.2% Overall Agreement: 98.1% VIROLOGY SINGLE USE IN VITRO DIAGNOSTIC DEVICE
