Norovirus, rotavirus, adenovirus and astrovirus rapid test
The rapid test for viral gastroenteritis is a qualitative combination test for detecting norovirus genogroup GI and GII, rotavirus, adenovirus and astrovirus antigens in faecal specimens. It is intended for professional use. The result supports a preliminary assessment and does not diagnose the cause of gastroenteritis on its own.
Who is the test intended for?
The test is intended for professional use and has not been tested for home use.
What does the test detect?
The combination cassette contains separate test regions for norovirus GI/GII, rotavirus and adenovirus, and astrovirus. Results apply only to the viral antigens detected by the test.
Specimen collection and test procedure
- Collect the faecal specimen in a clean, dry container.
- Sample into the collection tube as instructed and mix with the extraction buffer.
- Add the prepared specimen to the appropriate cassette wells.
- Keep the cassette on a level surface while the result develops.
When should the result be read?
Read the result at 15 minutes. Do not interpret the result after 20 minutes.
How is the result interpreted?
Control line C must appear in each test section. A test line in a virus region indicates detection of the corresponding antigen. A section is invalid if its control line is absent.
Does a negative result rule out viral gastroenteritis?
No. The antigen level may be below the detection limit or the illness may be caused by another pathogen. Confirm the result by another method when necessary.
Storage and limitations
- Store at 2–30 °C as stated in the IFU. Do not freeze.
- Use the cassette immediately after opening the foil pouch.
- For single use only.
- A positive result does not rule out co-infection with another pathogen.
