Rapid, immunochromatographic test on vaginal smear. Easy to perform, able to identify by specific antibodies the presence of Candida in only 10 to 20 minutes. The test has been validated by external studies and found to have a sensitivity of over 98% and specificity of over 94% when compared with reference methods for microbes identification (such as BD Affirm, USA). The reproducibility is at the highest level of rapid tests. As Candida affects 50% of women at least once in their life and symptoms can be mistaken for those of Bacterial Vaginosis or other Vaginitis, the use of this test together with the vaginal pH test (see code 29110) allows discriminate between the two.
For professional use.
