Frequently asked questions
What does the Icon Mono Test Kit detect?
The HemoCue Icon Mono Test Kit is a rapid, one-step antibody test designed for the qualitative detection of IM heterophile antibodies.
This test is crucial for aiding in the differential diagnosis of Infectious Mononucleosis (IM) when patients present with common viral symptoms like fever, sore throat, or swollen lymph glands. It is clinically approved for use on patients of all ages.
The high-performance test utilizes direct solid-phase immunoassay technology and can be performed using minimal sample volume from three convenient sources:
- Whole blood (WB)
- Human serum
- Human plasma
What type of technology does the HemoCue Icon® Mono Test Kit use?
This kit utilizes direct solid-phase immunoassay technology, which ensures highly sensitive and specific detection of IM heterophile antibodies. This method allows for rapid and reliable results, crucial for timely diagnosis and patient care.
What is the high sensitivity and specificity of this mono test?
The HemoCue Icon Mono Test Kit provides high analytical accuracy, with specifications detailed for different sample types:
- Relative Sensitivity (Serum/Plasma): 99.9%
- Relative Specificity (Serum/Plasma): 98.8%
- Relative Specificity (Whole Blood Assay): 98.3%
Is the HemoCue Icon® Mono Test Kit safe to use on children?
Yes, the HemoCue Icon® Mono Test Kit is clinically approved for use on patients of all ages, including individuals under 18 years old. This makes it a versatile tool for healthcare providers treating a broad range of patients.
