ViroMed Laboratories Highlights

HTLV I/II Supplemental Testing

ViroMed will begin using the MP Diagnostics HTLV Blot 2.4 test kit for HTLV I/II supplemental testing beginning May 9, 2016. This kit is currently the only FDA-licensed test on the market for use as a supplemental test to confirm the presence of anti-HTLV I/II antibodies in serum or plasma. Additionally, this kit will differentiate between HTLV type-1 and HTLV type-2 infections.

FDA Guidance

To ensure compliance with the new FDA guidance document entitled Use of Donor Screening Tests to Test Donors of Human Cells, Tissues, and Cellular and Tissue-Based Products for Infection with Treponema pallidum (Syphilis), ViroMed Laboratories will no longer offer the Rapid Plasma Reagin (RPR) test alone or reflexed to the Fluorsecent Treponemal Antibody tests (FTA-ABS) assay (tests 139278 and 139425).
