Overview
The Insti Hiv Test for self-diagnostic use is a single-use, vertical scrolling, qualitative immunoassay for the detection of antibodies to Human Immunodeficiency Virus Type 1 (HIV-1) and Type 2 (HIV-2) in whole blood from lancing device. Insti Hiv Test for self-diagnostic use is intended to be used as a test to aid in the diagnosis of HIV-1 and HIV-2 infection using a small drop of blood (50μL) obtained by finger prick.
Extensive research studies have shown that this test is extremely accurate when done correctly. It has a proven sensitivity (measure of reliability that the test will be positive for those with HIV infection) of 99.8%.
The INSTI HIV-1 / HIV-2 Antibody Test is a qualitative, fast-scrolling, single-use in vitro test for the detection of Human Immunodeficiency Virus Type 1 and Type 2 antibodies on human whole blood collected in EDTA, blood from finger pricker, serum or EDTA plasma.
The test is designed for use by trained personnel in medical facilities, clinical laboratories, emergency care situations and medical clinics as a diagnostic test capable of providing results in less than a minute. Although it is suitable for testing in care centers (POCs) or in patients, the INSTI HIV-1/HIV-2 antibody test is not suitable for home self-diagnosis.
All pre- and post-test counseling guidelines should be followed in any setting where the INSTI HIV-1/HIV-2 Antibody Test is used. The test is packaged as a kit containing the INSTI Membrane Unit, Sample Diluent (Solution 1), Color Developer (Solution 2) and Lightening Solution (Solution 3) with or without support materials (lancet, pipette and alcohol swab)
