TEST PRINCIPLE
PocTell® Prostate Specific Antigen PSA Rapid Test Device (Whole Blood / Serum / Plasma) is a qualitative, membrane based immunoassay for the detection of PSA in whole blood, serum or plasma. The membrane is pre-coated with PSA antibodies on the test line region. During testing, specimen reacts with the particle coated with anti-PSA antibody. The mixture migrates upward on the membrane chromatographically by capillary action to react with anti-PSA antibodies on the membrane and generate a colored line. The presence of this colored line in the test region indicates that presence of PSA in the specimen is more than 2 ng/mL for a positive result, while its absence indicates a negative result or presence of PSA in the specimen below 2 ng/mL. To serve as a procedural control, a colored line will always appear in the control line region (C) indicating that proper volume of specimen has been added and membrane wicking has occurred..
DIRECTIONS FOR USE
Allow the test, specimen, buffer and/or controls to reach room temperature (15-30°C) prior to testing.
1.Bring the pouch and buffer to room temperature before opening the pouch. Remove the test device from the sealed pouch and use it as soon as possible. Best results will be obtained if the assay is performed within one hour.
2.Place the test device on a clean and level surface.
For Serum, Plasma or Venipuncture Whole Blood specimens: Hold the dropper vertically and transfer 2 drops of specimen (approximately 50 L) to the specimen well (S) of the test device, then add 1 drop of buffer (approximately 40 L) and start the timer.
For Fingerstick Whole Blood specimens:
·To use a capillary tube: Fill the capillary tube and transfer approximately 50 L of fingerstick whole blood specimen to the specimen well (S) of the test device, then add 1 drop of buffer (approximately 40 L) and start the timer.
·To use hanging drops: Allow 2 drops of fingerstick whole blood specimen (approximately 50 L) to fall into the center of the specimen well (S) on the test device, then add 1 drop of buffer (approximately 40 L) and start the timer. See illustration below.
3.Wait for the colored line(s) to appear. Read the result at 5 minutes. Do not interpret the result after 10 minutes. .
