Result Interpretation
The iCARE One-Step Malaria (P.f/P.v) Test provides clear and concise results through visual chromatographic assays. Here’s how to interpret the results:
- Control Band: A visible control band indicates a valid test.
- Test Band 1 (Malaria P.f): If Test Band 1 is positive, it indicates the presence of Malaria P.falciparum.
- Test Band 2 (Malaria P.v): If Test Band 2 is positive, it indicates the presence of Malaria P.vivax.
- Malaria P.f/P.v Positive: If both Test Band 1 and Test Band 2 are positive, it suggests the presence of both Malaria P.falciparum and Malaria P.vivax.
- Negative: If there are no visible bands except the control band, the test result is negative.
- Invalid: An invalid result may occur for various reasons, such as improper testing procedures or expired test kits.
