【INTENDED USE】

The Ebola Antigen Rapid Test is a rapid, serological, lateral flow chromatographic immunoassay for the qualitative detection of antigens from Ebola viruses in human whole blood, serum or plasma specimens as an aid in the diagnosis of Ebola virus infection.

【SUMMARY】

The Ebola virus causes an acute, serious illness which is often fatal if untreated. Ebola virus disease (EVD) first appeared in 1976 in 2 simultaneous outbreaks, one in Nzara, Sudan, and the other in Yambuku, Democratic Republic of Congo. The latter occurred in a village near the Ebola River, from which the disease takes its name.
