Direct Answer
This rapid test detects C-reactive protein in WB / S / P to support Inflammation. It is a colloidal-gold screening test — a reactive result is presumptive and should be confirmed per the intended use.
Intended Use
Semi-quantitative detection of C-reactive protein for inflammation.
Clinical Context
CRP is an acute-phase protein; rapid CRP supports infection/inflammation triage and antibiotic-stewardship decisions in primary care.
Test Principle
Colloidal-gold immunochromatography (lateral flow). The device captures the target analyte (antigen or antibody) on a membrane via labeled antibodies, producing a visible test line within minutes. Qualitative or semi-quantitative, intended as a screening/triage aid — not a replacement for confirmatory laboratory testing.
Limitations
Non-specific — elevated in many inflammatory conditions; semi-quantitative POC results are triage-grade.
Procurement
Specimen: whole blood / serum / plasma. Format: strip / cassette. CE-marked line.
Interpretation
| Result | Lines | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Positive | Test + control line | Target detected (presumptive positive) |
| Negative | Control line only | Below cut-off / not detected |
| Invalid | No control line | Repeat with a new device |
