LaboratoryHepatitis E virus genotypes 1+2+3+4 RNA [Presence] in Serum or Plasma from Donor by NAA with probe detection
Definition
An in vitro nucleic acid amplification assay for the direct qualitative detection of hepatitis E virus (HEV) genotypes 1-4 RNA in human plasma or serum. This is a blood screening assay to detect HEV RNA. Plasma from whole blood, blood components, or collections by apheresis can also be used. Plasma from all donors or manufacturing pools may be tested as separate specimens or in pools composed of aliquots of individual specimens. This assay is not meant for use on cord blood nor for use as an aid in diagnosis. This term was created for, but not limited in use to, the Cobas® HEV assay.
