An indirect test for the Treponema Pallidum (TP) bacterium, which causes Syphilis, results are given in as little as 15 minutes. This is an antibody test, which tests for the presence of antibodies in the human body that are produced in response to the TP bacterium.

It is strongly recommended that individuals know their status and, should the need arise, start treatment immediately to avoid future complications.

How to use the test

  • Remove the test cassette from the sealed pouch and use it as soon as possible. Place the cassette on a clean and level surface.
  • To use a capillary tube: Fill the capillary tube and transfer approximately 80 µL of fingerstick whole blood specimen to the specimen area of the test cassette, then add 1 drop of buffer (approximately 40µl) and start the timer.
  • To use hanging drops: Allow 2 hanging drops of fingerstick whole blood specimen (approximately 80µl) to fall into the specimen area of the test cassette, then add 1 drop of buffer (approximately 40 µl) and start the timer.
  • Wait for the colored line(s) to appear. Read results in 5 minutes. Do not interpret the result after 20 minutes.

Reading the results

Positive: two coloured lines appear, one in the control region (C) and one in the test region (T). Any shade of colour in the test region should be read as positive: the line intensity varies with the concentration of Treponema pallidum antibodies in the sample.

Negative: one coloured line appears in the control region (C) and no line appears in the test region (T).

Invalid: the control line does not appear. Insufficient sample volume or an incorrect procedure are the most likely causes. Review the instructions and repeat with a new test. If the problem persists, stop using the kit and contact Famka.

Important

Any positive result should be addressed and treated by a Health care professional.
