Accurate HBV viral load test results are critical in assessing if patients are responding to treatment. This is vital in pursuing the elimination of viral Hepatitis as a public threat by 2030 worldwide*. Alinity m HBV assay delivers accurate and timely viral load results which help clinicians guide patient care with improved workflow efficiency needed in molecular laboratory
INTENDED USE
The Alinity m HBV assay is an in vitro polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assay for use with the automated Alinity m System to quantitate Hepatitis B Virus (HBV) DNA in human plasma or serum. The Alinity m HBV assay is intended for use as an aid in the management of patients with chronic HBV infection undergoing anti-viral therapy. The assay can be used to measure HBV DNA levels at baseline and during treatment to aid in assessing response to treatment. The results from the Alinity m HBV assay must be interpreted within the context of all relevant clinical and laboratory findings.
This assay is not intended to be used in screening blood, blood products, or cell, tissue, and cellular and tissue-based products (HCT/Ps), or as a diagnostic test to confirm the presence of HBV infection.
