| Interpretive Data: |
The quantitative range of this assay is 1.3-8.2 log IU/mL (20-170,000,000 IU/mL).
1 IU/mL of HBV DNA is approximately 5.82 copies/mL.
This assay should not be used for blood donor screening, associated re-entry protocols, or for screening Human Cell, Tissues and Cellular Tissue-Based Products (HCT/P).
|
| Note: |
The limit of quantification for this DNA assay is 1.3 log IU/mL (20 IU/mL). If the assay DID NOT DETECT the virus, the test result will be reported as "<1.3 log IU/mL (<20 IU/mL)." If the assay DETECTED the presence of the virus but was not able to accurately quantify the number of IU the test result will be reported as "Not Quantified."
Specimens received with less than minimum volume for testing will automatically be run with a dilution according to the guidelines below.
-Specimens with 325-650uL will be diluted resulting in a modification of the quantitative range of the assay to 1.6-8.5 log IU/mL (41-350,000,000 IU/mL).
-Specimens with 130-325uL will be diluted resulting in a modification of the quantitative range of the assay to 2.0-8.9 log IU/mL (102-870,000,000 IU/mL).
This test is intended for use in conjunction with clinical presentation and other laboratory markers as an indicator of disease prognosis. This test is also used as an aid in accessing viral response to treatment as measured by changes in HBV DNA levels.
