COBAS AmpliPrep/COBAS TaqMan HIV-1 Qualitative Test, version 2.0 - Taiwan Registration e6554d4353e8ddda3d0b97b26f7180e7

This reagent uses the total nucleic acid amplification method to qualitatively detect human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-l) DNA and RNA (or total nucleic acid, TNA) in EDTA-containing human plasma or dried blood spots, and needs to be used with COBAS AmpliPrep instrument for automated sample processing and the use of COBAS TaqMan analyzer or COBAS TaqMan 48 analyzers perform automated nucleic acid amplification and detection. This reagent is used in individuals suspected of being infected with HIV-1 and is used for diagnostic purposes and cannot be used for screening. Measuring total HIV-1 nucleic acid can be used as an indicator of active HIV infection. Because babies born to HIV-l infected mothers may have anti-HIV-l antibodies from their mothers, testing for HIV-l nucleic acid in the baby indicates whether the baby is infected with HIV during the active phase. This reagent can also help diagnose HIV-l infection in adults.
