Syphilis Test Kit Change
On August 23, 2010, ViroMed Laboratories will be changing its laboratory testing for syphilis.
The CAPTIA™ Syphilis (T pallidum)-G assay manufactured by Trinity Biotech will be performed
instead of the RPR and FTA assays. The CAPTIA tests for antitreponemal IgG and thus enables
definitive determination of exposure to T pallidum in a single step. The CAPTIA is an enzyme
immunoassay (ELISA) intended for screening blood donors to exclude a history of syphilis. The
package insert is available on the FDA HCT/P licensed donor screening tests web site.
Clients will be mailed letters with additional details on this change. A copy of the updated
donor screening tests with approved indications for HCT/P donors will be available on the web
site on August 23, 2010.
