HAV IgM Rapid Test is a lateral flow chromatographic immunoassay for the qualitative detection of IgM antibody to Hepatitis A virus (HAV) in human serum or plasma. HAV is a positive RNA virus, a unique member of picornavirdae. Its transmission depends primarily on serial transmission from person to person by the fecal-oral route. Although hepatitis A is not ordinarily a sexually transmitted disease, the infection rate is high among male homosexuals, as result of oral-anal contact. The presence of specific anti-HAV IgM in blood samples suggests acute or recent HAV infection. The IgM antibody rapidly increases in titer over a period of 4-6 weeks post infection, and then declines to non-detectable levels within 3 to 6 months in most patients. The HAV IgM Rapid Test is to be used to detect IgM anti-HAV in less than 15 min by untrained or minimally skilled personnel, without cumbersome laboratory equipment.

Limitation
- For in vitro diagnostic use only; detects HAV IgM antibodies in serum or plasma.
- This test detects the presence of IgM antibodies to HAV in the specimen and should not be used as the sole criterion for the diagnosis of HAV infection.
