ImmunoCard C. difficile GDH is a rapid qualitative enzyme immunoassay screening test to detect Clostridium difficile antigen, glutamate dehydrogenase, in fecal specimens from persons suspected of having C. difficile infection (CDI). This test does not distinguish between toxigenic and non-toxigenic strains of C. difficile. Samples from patients that produce positive results with this test must be further tested with an assay designed to detect toxigenic C. difficile strains and assist with the diagnosis of CDI.
A collection of reagents and other associated materials intended to be used for the qualitative and/or quantitative detection of antigens from Clostridium difficile bacteria [e.g., glutamate dehydrogenase antigen (GDA), toxin A and/or toxin B] in a clinical specimen, using an enzyme immunoassay (EIA) method.
