The Chembio HIV 1/2 STAT-PAK® Assay is a single-use immunochromatographic test for the detection of antibodies to Human Immunodeficiency Virus Type 1 (HIV-1) and Type 2 (HIV-2) in fingerstick whole blood, venous whole blood, serum or plasma specimens. The Chembio HIV 1/2 STAT-PAK® assay is intended for use as a point-of-care test to aid in the diagnosis of infection with HIV-1 and HIV-2. This test is suitable for use in multi-test algorithms designed for the statistical validation of rapid HIV test results. When multiple rapid HIV tests are available, this test should be used in appropriate multi-test algorithms. Each kit contains 20 individually pouched tests, 1 bottle of HIV Running Buffer, 20 Disposable Loops, 1 Product Insert, and 20 Copies of Subject Information Notice.
A collection of reagents and other associated materials intended to be used for the qualitative and/or quantitative detection of antibodies to human immunodeficiency virus 1 and 2 (HIV1/HIV2) in a clinical specimen within a short period, relative to standard laboratory testing procedures, using an immunochromatographic test (ICT) method. This test is commonly used in the laboratory or in point-of-care analyses and may be available [non-prescription] over-the-counter (OTC) for self-testing by a layperson in the home or similar environment.
