| Syphilis is a sexually transmitted infection caused by Treponema Pallidum (TP). The primary route of transmission is through sexual contact however it may also be transmitted from mother to foetus during pregnancy or at birth resulting in congenital syphilis. |

TEST PRINCIPLE
| Syphilis Rapid Test Device (Whole Blood/Serum/Plasma) detects IgM and IgG antibodies to Treponema Pallidum (TP) through visual interpretation of colour development on the internal strip. Specific recombinant TP antigens are immobilized on the test region of the membrane. During testing, the specimen reacts with recombinant TP-specific antigen conjugated to coloured particles and precoated onto the sample pad of the test. The mixture then migrates through the membrane by capillary action and interacts with reagents on the membrane. If there are sufficient antibodies to Treponema Pallidum (TP) in the specimen, a coloured band will form at the test region of the membrane. The presence of this coloured band indicates a positive result, while its absence indicates a negative result. The appearance of a coloured band at the control region serves as a procedural control, indicating that the proper volume of specimen has been added and membrane wicking has occurred. |
TEST PROCEDURE:
| 1) Bring the pouch to room temperature before opening it. Remove the test strip from the sealed pouch and use it as soon as possible. Place the test strip on a clean and level surface. 2) For serum or plasma specimen: Hold the dropper vertically and transfer 3 drops of serum or plasma (approximately 100μl) to the specimen pad of the test strip, then start the timer. See illustration below. 3) For whole blood specimens: Hold the dropper vertically and transfer 1 drop of whole blood (approximately 35μl) to the specimen pad of the test strip, then add 2 drops of buffer (approximately 70μl) and start the timer. 4) Wait for the coloured line(s) to appear. Read results at 15 minutes. Do not interpret the result after 20 minutes. Important: In order to prevent an incorrect reading, do not read the test results after more than 8 minutes. If the test is read after 8 minutes, the intensity of the coloured lines may change or a new line may appear. To avoid confusion, discard the test device after interpreting the result |
