cobas EBV is an in vitro nucleic acid amplification test for the quantitation of Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) DNA in human EDTA plasma on the cobas 6800/8800 Systems.

cobas EBV is intended for use as an aid in the management of EBV in transplant patients. In patients undergoing monitoring of EBV, serial DNA measurements can be used to indicate the need for potential treatment changes and to assess response to treatment.

The results from cobas EBV are intended to be read and analyzed by a qualified licensed healthcare professional in conjunction with clinical signs and symptoms and relevant laboratory findings.

Negative test results do not preclude EBV infection or EBV disease. Test results must not be the sole basis for patient management decisions.

cobas EBV is not intended for use as a screening test for donors of blood or blood products or human cells, tissues, and cellular and tissue-based products (HCT/Ps).

Indications for use as stated in the FDA summary.
