The Aptima Herpes Simplex Viruses 1 and 2 assay (Aptima HSV 1 and 2 assay) is an in vitro diagnostic nucleic acid amplification test (NAAT), using real time transcription mediated amplification (TMA), for the qualitative detection and differentiation of herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) and type 2 (HSV-2) messenger RNA (mRNA) in clinician-collected swab specimens from anogenital skin lesions. The Aptima HSV 1 and 2 assay is intended for use as an aid in the diagnosis of HSV-1 and/or HSV-2 infections in symptomatic male and female patients.
Components:
  • 1161 - HSV 1 RNA
  • 1162 - HSV 2 RNA
  • 1188 - SOURCE
