In vitro diagnostic medical device

Assay using chemiluminescent immunoassay (CLIA) technology for the qualitative determination of IgM antibodies to hepatitis E virus (Anti-HEV IgM) in human serum and plasma samples included specimens collected post- mortem (non-heart beating).

It is intended as an aid in the diagnosis of HEV infection in individuals with or without symptoms of hepatitis. It is also intended as a screening test for organ, tissue and cells post- mortem donors.

Intended purpose

P1

what is detected and/or measured
please specify the analyte(s) or marker(s), e.g. SARS-CoV-2 spike protein, Kel1 (K)

P2

function of the device
e.g. diagnosis, aid to diagnosis, monitoring, determining the infectious load, tissue typing etc

P3

the specific disorder, condition or risk factor of
interest that it is intended to detect, define or
differentiate e.g. hepatitis C infection, exposure to SARS-CoV-2, risk of HIV transmission in blood transfusion etc.

HEV infection

P4

whether it is automated or not

Automated assay

P5

whether it is qualitative, semi-quantitative or
quantitative
