CRP C-Reactive Protein Semi-Quantitative Rapid Test Strip (WB/S/P) (10~30~60 mg/L)
INTRODUCTION
C‐reactive Protein (CrP) in patient’s sera has been found in association with acute infections,
necrotic conditions and a variety of inflammatory disorders. There is a strong correlation between
serum levels of CrP and the onset of the inflammatory process. Monitoring the levels of CrP in
patient’s sera indicates the effectiveness of treatment and the assessment of patient recovery. It is
used in particular to differentiate bacterial infections from virus infections.
PRECAUTIONS
For professional in vitro diagnostic use only.
.Do not use after the expiration date indicated on the package. Do not use the test if the foil
pouch is damaged. Do not reuse tests.
. This kit contains products of animal origin. Certified knowledge of the origin and/or sanitary
state of the animals does not completely guarantee the absence of transmissible pathogenic
agents. It is therefore recommended that these products be treated as potentially infectious,
and handled observing usual safety precautions (e.g., do not ingest or inhale).
.Avoid cross‐contamination of specimens by using a new specimen collection container for
each specimen obtained.
. Read the entire procedure carefully prior to any testing.
. Do not eat, drink or smoke in the area where the specimens and kits are handled. Handle all
specimens as if they contain infectious agents. Observe established precautions against
microbiological hazards throughout the procedure and follow standard procedures for proper
disposal of specimens. Wear protective clothing such as laboratory coats, disposable gloves
and eye protection when specimens are assayed.
. Do not interchange or mix reagents from different lots.
. Humidity and temperature can adversely affect results.
. Used testing materials should be discarded in accordance with local regulations.
INTERPRETATION OF RESULTS
POSITIVE RESULT: Possible Interpretation of CRP Levels
NOTE
1. The intensity of the color in the test region (T) may vary depending on the concentration of
analytes present in the specimen. Therefore, any shade of color in the test region should be
considered positive. Please note that this is a semi‐quantitative test only, and cannot determine
the concentration of analytes in the specimen.
2. Insufficient specimen volume, incorrect operating procedure or expired tests are the most
likely reasons for control band failure.
