The Alinity m HSV 1 & 2 / VZV assay is an in vitro real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assay for the qualitative detection and differentiation of Herpes Simplex Virus 1 (HSV-1), Herpes Simplex Virus 2 (HSV-2) and Varicella Zoster Virus (VZV) DNA from clinician-collected cutaneous or mucocutaneous lesion swab specimens from symptomatic patients suspected of active herpes simplex virus 1, herpes simplex virus 2 and/or varicella-zoster infection. The Alinity m HSV 1 & 2 / VZV assay is intended to aid in the diagnosis of herpes simplex virus 1, herpes simplex virus 2 and/or varicella-zoster active cutaneous or mucocutaneous infections. Negative results do not preclude herpes simplex virus type 1, herpes simplex virus type 2 or varicella-zoster virus infections and should not be used as the sole basis for diagnosis, treatment or other management decisions.

The Alinity m HSV 1 & 2 / VZV assay is not intended for use with cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) or to aid in the diagnosis of HSV or VZV infections of the central nervous system (CNS). The Alinity m HSV 1 & 2 / VZV assay is not intended for use in prenatal screening.

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