Canivet EHR-LYM-ANA Ab Combo Test

Introduction

The Canivet EHR-LYM-ANA Ab Combo Test is a test cassette to diagnose the presence of antibodies against Ehrlichia canis, Borrelia burgdorferi and Anaplasma platys in dog’s serum, plasma and whole blood specimen. Assay Time: 5-10 minutes

Infectious diseases of dogs are still a current problem, which is why it is so important to diagnose them quickly. Control of infection early is the best way to protect patients from chronic disease.

The test   is used for the qualitative detection  of antibodies to Ehrilchia canis, Borrelia burgdorferi and Anaplasma spp in serum, plasma or whole blood

Anaplasmosis is an Infectious disease that comes in two forms: infection of white blood cells or infection of platelets. It is spread by common ticks. The most common symptom is fever. Weakness or lethargy, joint pain, swollen lymph nodes, and an enlarged spleen, sometimes with loss of appetite, vomiting, or diarrhea.

Ehrlichiosis is also an Infectious disease transmitted by ticks. Symptoms of ehrlichiosis may include fever, lethargy, weight loss, swollen lymph nodes, swelling, bleeding, nasal and eye discharge, and seizures.

Lyme disease is an infectious disease spread by ticks. Lyme disease has no symptoms in most dogs. Clinical symptoms appear months after infection. The most common symptoms of the disease are loss of appetite, sadness, fever, joint pain, fatigue and weight loss.

Test Procedure

-Collect dog’s ocular, nasal or anus secretions with the cotton Swab and make the Swab wet sufficiently.
-Insert the Swab into the provided assay buffer tube. Agitates it to get efficient sample extraction. 
-If using serum or plasma specimen, use the dropper to collect the specimen. 

-Place 3 drops of serum or plasma into the assay buffer tube for dilution. The diluted sample is used as sample extraction. 
-Take out the test card from the foil pouch and place it horizontally.
-Suck the treated sample extraction from the assay buffer tube and place 3 drops into each sample hole “S” of the test card. 
-Interpret the result in 5-10 minutes. Result after 10 minutes is considered as invalid.

INTERPRETATION OF ASSAY RESULT

- Positive (+): Whether the T line is clear or fuzzy, the "C" line and the region "T" line are present.

- Negative (-): Shows only the sharp C line. No T line.

- Invalid: no color lines in zone C. Whether the T line appears or not.

Clinical Date

Precaution

-All reagents must be tested at room temperature.

-Do not take the test tape out of the bag before use.

-Do not use the test after the expiration date.

-The components in this kit have been used as a standard batch processing unit for quality control testing. Do not mix parts of different batch numbers.
