Alinity m EBV is an in vitro polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assay for the quantitation of Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV) DNA in human EDTA plasma on the automated Alinity m System.

Alinity m 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 viral response to treatment.

The results from Alinity m EBV must be interpreted within the context of all relevant clinical and laboratory findings. Alinity m EBV is not cleared for use as a screening test for donors of blood, blood products, or human cells, tissues, and cellular and tissue-based products (HCT/Ps) for EBV.

Indications for use read by OCR from a scanned FDA summary, so letters may be misread. Check the PDF before quoting it.
