Donor, HIV/HCV/HBV NAT Procleix® with Reflexes
Use
The Procleix® Ultrio® Elite HIV/HBV/HCV Assay is a qualitative in vitro nucleic acid assay for the detection of Human Immunodeficiency Virus RNA, Hepatitis B Virus DNA, and Hepatitis C Virus RNA in human plasma. The test is intended to be used to screen blood, solid organ, and tissue donors for these agents. When used in conjunction with licensed tests for detecting antibodies to HIV, HBV, and HCV, test results may be used to determine eligibility for blood, solid organ, or tissue transplantation. Non-Reactive is the expected reference result. ([jdos.nicholsinstitute.com](https://jdos.nicholsinstitute.com/dos/nmmcpathology/test/572222?utm_source=openai))
