Instructions for use
Follow the instructions in the leaflet.
IMPORTANT: After several complaints of false positive faint lines testing plasma on the Bioline HBsAg WB test received from several MSF field projects, MSF validated its use on venous whole blood only, regardless of the IFU claiming that plasma can be used.
Sample type: 100µl venous whole blood (not validated on capillary blood)
If you are considering the use of this test for another indication than pretransfusional screening (i.e. screening of chronic hepatitis B infection), additional testing should be performed to determine if the patient should be considered for antiretroviral therapy (i.e. HBeAg, HBV VL). It is recommended to consult your respective OC laboratory advisor and medical director before use outside pretransfusional screening.
