What is the "golden standard" for Pneumococcus diagnostics?

Answer:

The “golden standard” for pneumococcus is blood culture.

Most children are vaccinated for S. pneumoniae. Will that increase the risk of false positive?

Answer:

We have not examined samples from children after vaccination, but we have looked at elderly (above 64 years) who have been vaccinated. Four (4 ) of 24 sample tested, were positive within the first 6 days. The 13-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine does not affect the ImmuView® S. pneumoniae Antigen Test. However, we do not recommend using the test within three days after vaccination with the 23-valent vaccine, as false-positive results might occur

Positive control: is it a liquid positive control?

Answer:

It is a liquid positive control. The positive control should, when tested, give two lines

Is the positive control for one or more tests?

Answer:

There is enough for at least three tests if the customer wants to use to three tests on positive control.

Should you boil the positive samples?

Answer:

The kit does not require boiling

However, you can boil the sample to confirm a positive result, if the result is invalid, or if the urine sample contains visible blood.

Please refer to the IFU in the packaging for further explanation

Should the test be run with urine samples taken in the morning or can urine from any time of day be used?

Answer:

Morning urine samples are preferred as the concentration of antigens will be highest in the morning. However, the test can easialy be used with tests collected throughout the day

Is the test able to detect pneumococcus in synovial fluid?

Answer:

The test has not been validated for use with synovial fluid. The test material validated is urine and CSF
