Abbott Malaria Pv/pf Test — Product Description

The Abbott Malaria Pv/pf Test is a rapid diagnostic test designed to detect and differentiate infections caused by Plasmodium vivax (Pv) and Plasmodium falciparum (Pf). Intended for use in clinical laboratories, hospitals, field clinics, and point-of-care settings, this test provides quick, reliable results to support timely diagnosis and treatment of malaria.

The test assists healthcare professionals in identifying the malaria species present so that appropriate treatment decisions can be made promptly. It is suitable for screening symptomatic patients and for use in surveillance and outbreak response programs.

Key Features :

• Dual detection of P. vivax and P. falciparum on a single rapid test card.
• Fast point-of-care format — visual readout within minutes (refer to IFU for exact read time).
• Suitable for whole blood, serum, or plasma samples (confirm accepted specimen types in IFU).
• Compact, easy-to-use kit ideal for clinics, field screening, and surveillance.
• Supports rapid clinical decision-making and treatment triage in endemic areas.

Note: Rapid diagnostic tests are screening tools and have performance limitations (sensitivity/specificity vary with parasite density and timing of sample collection). Negative or ambiguous results should be interpreted alongside clinical assessment and, where necessary, confirmed with microscopy or molecular methods (PCR) according to local protocols.
