Product Information
AdvaCare is a CE, ISO and USFDA manufacturer of Dengue Test Kits.
Dengue test kits are used for early dengue diagnosis by detection of dengue virus NS1 antigen and immunoglobulin M (IgM)/IgG antibodies in human blood, serum, or plasma. These kits were designed based on the principle that when a specimen is added to the sample well, anti-dengue IgG and IgM in the specimen will react with recombinant dengue virus envelope proteins-colloidal gold conjugates and form a complex of antibodies-antigen. The test will take approximately 20 minutes to provide a result.
In the case of a positive result, one should consult with their doctor to consider the first stage of treatment. The dengue fever test has been shown to be accurate in 98% of cases, demonstrating its reliability.
AccuQuik’s dengue test kit utilizes the principle of immune-chromatography for the qualitative detection of dengue IgG/IgM and virus antigen (Dengue Ag) in human whole blood, serum, or plasma. This test is used to screen for dengue viral infection and as an aid for differential diagnosis of primary and secondary infections in conjunction with other criteria. During testing, the specimen reacts with dengue antibody-conjugate in the test cassette. The antibody conjugate will bind to dengue antigen in the specimen sample which in turn will bind to the Anti-Dengue NS1 coated on the membrane. As the reagent moves across the membrane, the Dengue NS1 antibody on the membrane will bind the antibody-antigen complex causing a pale or dark pink line to form at the test line region of the test membrane. The intensity of the lines will vary depending on the amount of antigen present in the sample. The appearance of pink line in the test region should be considered as a positive result.

Additional Information
Dengue fever is a painful and debilitating mosquito-borne disease caused by any one of the four closely related dengue viruses. These viruses are related to the viruses that cause West Nile infection and yellow fever. The tropical disease is transmitted by the Aedes aegypti mosquito causing a range of mild to severe symptoms. The basic symptoms include high fever, headache, pain behind the eyes, joint and muscle pain, nausea, vomiting, skin rash, and mild nosebleeds.
As the disease progresses, dengue leads to hemorrhagic fever, a rare complication characterized by high fever, damage to lymph and blood vessels, bleeding from the nose and gums, enlargement of the liver, and failure of the circulatory system. The symptoms may progress to massive bleeding, shock, and death, this is called dengue shock syndrome (DSS).
There is no vaccine to prevent dengue fever. The best way to prevent the disease is to prevent bites by infected mosquitoes, particularly if you are living in or traveling to a tropical area. This involves protecting yourself and making efforts to keep the mosquito population down, for example, using mosquito repellent, wearing long-sleeved clothes, and using mosquito nets. An indirect method of preventing dengue fever is removing breeding opportunities such as stagnant water bodies found in cans and flower pots. Individuals with weakened immune systems are at greater risk, such as HIV positive patients.
An estimated 390 million dengue infections occur worldwide each year, with about 96 million resulting in illness. Most cases occur in tropical areas of the world, with the greatest risk occurring in India, southeast Asia, southern China, Taiwan, Pacific Islands, the Caribbean (except Cuba and the Cayman Islands), Mexico, Africa, and Central and South America (except Chile, Paraguay, and Argentina).

Usage
Allow the test kit to reach room temperature (15-30°C) prior to testing.
Bring the pouch to room temperature before opening it. Remove the test cassette from the sealed pouch and use it within 1 hour. Place the cassette on a clean and level surface.
For Serum or Plasma specimen: Hold the dropper vertically and transfer 3 drops of serum or plasma (approximately 75 μL) to the specimen area, and start the timer.
For Venipuncture Whole Blood specimen: Hold the dropper vertically and transfer 3 drops of whole blood (approximately 75 μL) to the specimen area, then add 1 drop of buffer (approximately 40 μL), and start the timer.
Wait for the colored line(s) to appear. Results will appear in 10-12 minutes. Interpretation of the results after 20 minutes is not recommended.
Precautions
This kit is designed for in vitro use only. Eating, drinking or smoking in the area where the specimens or kits are handled is not advisable.
Wearing protective clothing such as laboratory coats, disposable gloves, and eye protection when specimens are assayed is advisable.
Controlling the temperature or maintaining room temperature is advisable.
