Malaria is caused by a protozoan which invades human red blood cells.1 Malaria is one of the world's most prevalent diseases. According to the WHO, the worldwide prevalence of the disease is estimated to be 300-500 million cases and over 1 million deaths each year. Most of these victims are infants, young children. Over half of theworld's population lives in malarious areas. Microscopic analysis of appropriately stained thick and thin blood smears has been the standard diagnostic technique for identifying malaria infections for more than a century.

The technique is capable of accurate and reliable diagnosis when performed by skilled microscopists using defined protocols. The skill of the microscopist and use of proven and defined procedures,frequently present the greatest obstacles to fully achieving the potential accuracy of microscopic diagnosis. Although there is a logistical burden associated with performing a time-intensive, labor-intensive, and equipment-intensive procedure suchas diagnostic microscopy, it is the training required to establish and sustain competent performance of microscopy that poses the greatest difficulty in employing this diagnostic technology.

The Malaria P.f. Rapid Test Strip (Whole Blood) is a rapid test to qualitatively detect the presence of the P.f. antigen.

1. Bring the pouch to room temperature before opening it. Remove the test strip from the sealed pouch and use it as soon as possible. Best results will be obtained if the assay is performed within one hour.

2. Transfer the whole blood to the specimen tube by a pipette or a dropper.

2.1 To use a pipette: To transfer 10mL of whole blood to the specimen tube, then add 3 drops of buffer (approximately 180 mL),and start the timer.

2.2 To use a Disposable Specimen Dropper: Hold the dropper vertically, draw the specimen up to the Fill Line as shown in illustration below (approximately 10 mL).

Transfer the specimen to the specimen tube, then add 3 drops of buffer (approximately 180 mL), and start the timer.

3. With arrows pointing toward the specimen, immerse the test strip vertically in the specimen and start the timer. Do not pass the maximum line (Max) on the test strip when immersing the strip.

4. Wait for the colored line(s) to appear. Read results at 10minutes. Do not interpret the result after 20 minutes.
