ID-FISH Plasmodium Genus Test Kit (PlasG) and ID-FISH Plasmodium falciparum and P. vivax Combo Test Kit (PlasFV) are intended for in vitro diagnostic use in the clinical laboratory for detection of Plasmodium species in human venous whole blood (EDTA) samples from patients suspected of Plasmodium infection. The test kits are intended to aid in the diagnosis of malaria and to aid in the differential diagnosis of P. falciparum and P. vivax infection. The test kits should be used only on samples from patients with a clinical history, signs and symptoms consistent with malaria, and are not intended as a screen for asymptomatic patients.

The ID-FISH Plasmodium Genus Test Kit is a qualitative test for detection of malaria parasites in blood smears. Positive results should be supplemented with the Plasmodium species specific test kit, ID-FISH Plasmodium falciparum and P. vivax Combo Test Kit for identification and differentiation of Plasmodium falciparum and Plasmodium vivax. The results of these test kits should be used in conjunction with other diagnostic test results. Clinical performance has not been established for P. ovale, P. malariae, or P. knowlesi.
