Product Description
The Norovirus Rapid Test (Feces) is a rapid chromatographic immunoassay for
the qualitative detection of Norovirus in human fecal specimens to aid in the
diagnosis of Norovirus infection.
【SUMMARY】
Noroviruses (NoV) are a genetically diverse group of single stranded RNA,
nonenvelopped viruses belonging to the Caliciviridae family. 1
Noroviruses are a major cause of acute gastroenteritis worldwide, often causing
explosive outbreaks in institutions. They are highly contagious, with an inoculum
of as few as ten particles being able to cause infection. Transmission occurs
through ingesting contaminated food and water and by person-to-person spread.
Transmission is predominantly fecal-oral but may be airborne due to
aerosolisation of vomitus, which typically contains abundant infectious virus
particles. Outbreaks may involve several routes of transmission. The illness is
acute, usually mild, although it has caused fatalities among the frail elderly, and
self-limiting and follows an incubation period of 24-48 hours although cases can
occur within 12 hours of exposure.2
The symptoms of Norovirus illness usually include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea,
and some stomach cramping. Sometimes people additionally have a low-grade
fever, chills, headache, muscle aches, and a general sense of tiredness. The
illness often begins suddenly, and the infected person may feel very sick. In most
people the illness is self-limiting with symptoms lasting for about 1 or 2 days. In
general, children experience more vomiting than adults.2, 3
The Norovirus Rapid Test (Feces) is a rapid chromatographic immunoassay for
the qualitative detection of norovirus in human feces specimen, providing results
in 10 minutes. The test utilizes antibody specific for adenovirus to selectively
detect norovirus from human feces specimens.
【PRINCIPLE】
The Norovirus Rapid Test (Feces) is a qualitative, lateral flow immunoassay for
the detection of Norovirus in human feces. The assay uses Genogroup 1 and
Genogroup 2 specific monoclonal antibodies coated on the test membrane.
During testing, the stool specimen reacts with the conjugate antibodies. The
mixture migrates upward on the membrane chromatographically by capillary
action to react with Genogroup 1 and 2 antibodies on the membrane and
generates a colored line at the level of the T line. The presence of a colored line in
T region indicates a positive result for Genogroup 1 and/or Genogroup 2, while its
absence indicates a negative result. To serve as a procedural control, a colored
line will always appear in the control reaction zone (C) indicating that proper
volume of specimen has been added and membrane wicking has occurred.
【REAGENTS】
The test contains Norovirus Genogroup 1 and Genogroup 2 monoclonal antibody
coated particles and Norovirus Genogroup 1 and Genogroup 2 monoclonal
antibodies coated on the membrane
【PRECAUTIONS】
Please read all the information in this package insert before performing the
test.
• For professional use only. For in vitro diagnostic use only.
• Do not use after the expiration date. Do not reuse the test.
• Store in a dry place at 2-30°C (36-86°F), avoiding areas of excess moisture. If
the foil packaging is damaged or has been opened, please do not use.
• Do not eat, drink or smoke in the area where the specimens or kits are handled.
• Handle all specimens as if they contain infectious agents. Observe established
precautions against microbiological hazards throughout all procedures and
follow the standard procedures for proper disposal of specimens.
• Wear protective clothing such as laboratory coats, disposable gloves and eye
protection when specimens are assayed.
• The used test should be discarded according to local regulations.
• Humidity and temperature may adversely affect results.
• Wash hands thoroughly before and after handling.
• Any serious incident that has occurred in relation to the device shall be
reported to the manufacturer and the competent authority.
• Use the test only once. Keep the test upright while testing. Do not move or
turn the test upside down.
• The kit must not be frozen or used after the expiration date printed on the
package.
• Components provided in the kit are approved for use in the Norovirus Rapid
Test. Do not use any other commercial kit component.
【STORAGE AND STABILITY】
The kit can be stored at room temperature or refrigerated (2-30°C). The test is
stable through the expiration date printed on the sealed pouch. The test must
remain in the sealed pouch until use. DO NOT FREEZE. Do not use beyond the
expiration date.
NOTE: It is suggested to use the test within one hour after removing it from the foil
pouch.
【SPECIMEN COLLECTION AND PREPARATION】
• The fecal specimen must be collected in clean, dry, waterproof container
containing no detergents, preservatives or transport media.
• No dietary restrictions are necessary before using the Norovirus Rapid Test.
• Bring the necessary reagents and feces specimen to room temperature before
use.
• If specimens are to be shipped, they should be packed in compliance with local
regulations covering the transportation of etiologic agents.

【DIRECTIONS FOR USE】
Before performing the test, allow the test and specimen to reach room
temperature (15-30°C), stool samples must be collected following the
instruction below.
1. Wash your hands with soap and rinse with clear water.
2. Collect fecal specimens:
Collect sufficient quantity of feces (1-2 mL or 1-2 g) in a clean, dry specimen
collection container. Best results will be obtained if the assay is performed
within 6 hours after collection. Specimen collected may be stored for 3 days at
2-8°C if not tested within 6 hours. For long term storage, specimens should be
kept below -20°C.
3. Bring the pouch to room temperature before opening it. Remove the test cup
from the foil pouch and use it as soon as possible. Best results will be obtained
if the test is performed immediately after opening the foil pouch.
4. Process fecal specimens:
• For Solid Specimens:
Unscrew the cap of the test cup and take out the specimen collection
applicator.
Randomly stab the specimen collection applicator into the fecal specimen in
at least 3 different sites to collect approximately 50 mg of feces (equivalent
to 1/4 of a pea). Do not scoop the fecal specimen.
• For Liquid Specimens:
Hold the dropper vertically, aspirate fecal specimens, and then transfer 2
drops of the liquid specimen (approximately 50 µL) into the test cup
containing the dilution buffer.
5. Insert the specimen collection applicator back into the test cup and tighten the
cap.
6. Shake the test cup for about 10-15 seconds to mix well. Leave the cup for
reaction for 2 minutes.
7. Remove the plastic limit strip of the test cup.
8. Put the test cup on a clean and level surface, press the cup body from the top to
the bottom and start the timer.
NOTE: Keep the test cup upright during the test developing. Do not move or turn
the test cup upside down.
9. Read results at 15 minutes. Do not read results after 20 minutes.
NOTE: If the specimen does not migrate (presence of particles), open a new test
cup, repeat step 4 and centrifuge the diluted specimen contained in the test cup with
a clean tube. Pipette 1-1.5 mL of supernatant, dispense into the test cup and insert
the specimen collection applicator back into the test cup and tighten the cap.
Continue from step 7-8 onwards in the above instructions for use and start the timer.
