(mb GeneXpert) TEST HCV viral load, cartridge

CAUTION

This test (= 1 cartridge) is worded and codified by unit to make the order easier, but it is always packaged in kit of 10.

Definition

The Xpert HCV viral load assay is performed on the GeneXpert. It is cartridge based and is a quantitative in vitro diagnostic test designed to detect HCV nucleic acids using human serum or plasma (EDTA). The test utilizes automated reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) using fluorescence to detect the RNA of interest for the quantitation of HCV.

The Xpert HCV viral load quantifies HCV genotypes 1-6 over the range of 10 to 100,000,000 IU/ml. The assay is intended for use as an aid in the management of HCV infected patients undergoing antiretroviral therapy. The test measures HCV RNA levels at baseline and during treatment and can be used to predict sustained and non-sustained virological responses to antiretroviral therapy.

Results from Xpert HCV viral load may also be used to confirm HCV infection in the anti-HCV positive individuals. In anti-HCV positive individuals who test negative for HCV RNA, use of another anti-HCV serological assay may be considered for distinction between true HCV exposure and biologic false positivity. Repeat HCV RNA testing may be indicated in cases that have had HCV exposure in the last 6 months or have clinical evidence of HCV disease.

This assay is not intended to be used as a blood donor screening test for HCV.

Storage

  • Store at 2 - 28°C
  • Shelf life: 12 months
  • Guaranteed minimum remaining shelf life at delivery: 1/3 of total shelf life

Waste management

The cartridge contains guanidium thiocyanate as the lysis reagent. This chemical is highly toxic and all care should be taken when using the cartridges in case of spills etc.

Please note that as this chemical is also highly toxic to aquatic life, it should optimally be disposed of by incineration. No liquids from the cartridge should be released into the environment.

Please contact your watsan referent for advice on proper disposal.

Detailed hazard and precautionary information can be found in the safety data sheet (SDS).
