About this test
What This Test Measures
The Gonorrhea Test detects gonorrhea antigen from swab samples.
Neisseria gonorrhoeae is the bacterium that causes gonorrhea, a sexually transmitted infection that can affect the mucous membranes of the genital and urinary tract. In some cases, untreated infection may lead to complications involving the reproductive or urinary system.
This test provides a qualitative result, meaning it indicates whether gonorrhea antigen was detected or not detected in the sample. It does not provide a quantitative antigen level.
Target Audience
This test is intended for healthcare professionals who need a rapid gonorrhea antigen screening tool for use within healthcare settings.
How It Works
1. Order the Kit
The kit is ordered for professional use in healthcare settings.
2. Collect the Sample
A vaginal or urethral swab sample is collected according to the included instructions.
3. Run the Test
The sample is prepared and applied to the test cassette according to the test procedure.
4. Read the Result
The result is read after 10 minutes. Results should not be interpreted after 30 minutes.
Sample Collection
The test can be performed using vaginal swab samples for women and urethral swab samples for men, according to the included instructions.
Sample quality is important, as detection depends on correct sample collection and sufficient antigen in the sample. Sample collection, handling and result interpretation should be performed according to the included instructions and applicable professional procedures.
Preparation Before Testing
Follow the instructions provided by the healthcare professional and the included test instructions. Sample collection, extraction, timing and result interpretation should be performed under appropriate professional guidance.
The test cassette, reagents and samples should be brought to room temperature 15 to 30 °C before testing, according to the included instructions.
Symptoms and Clinical Context
Gonorrhea can be asymptomatic or cause symptoms depending on the site of infection. Symptoms may include abnormal discharge, burning when urinating, pelvic discomfort, testicular pain, rectal symptoms or throat symptoms.
Because symptoms can overlap with other sexually transmitted infections, results should be interpreted together with patient history, exposure context and other relevant clinical findings.
Important Limitations
This test is intended as a screening tool and provides a qualitative indication of gonorrhea antigen in swab samples. It does not test for all sexually transmitted infections and does not replace clinical evaluation or laboratory confirmation when this is required.
A negative result does not exclude gonorrhea infection if antigen levels are below the detectable limit of the test or if sampling conditions affect detection. Results should be interpreted by healthcare professionals together with patient history, symptoms and other relevant clinical or laboratory findings.
The test does not determine antigen concentration, and therapeutic success or failure cannot be determined by this test alone.
Biomarkers included
- Neisseria gonorrhoeae (NG): Neisseria gonorrhoeae (NG) is a bacterium responsible for the sexually transmitted infection (STI) gonorrhea. Detecting NG is crucial for accurate diagnosis, timely treatment, and preventing serious complications like pelvic inflammatory disease, infertility, and chronic pain. Early identification helps limit the spread of this highly contagious infection.
How to prepare
Bring the test cassette, reagents and samples to room temperature 15 to 30 °C before use. Follow the included test instructions and applicable professional procedures for sample collection, extraction, timing and result interpretation.
Frequently asked questions
Can gonorrhea occur without symptoms?
Yes. Gonorrhea can occur without noticeable symptoms. It may also cause symptoms such as abnormal discharge, burning when urinating, pelvic discomfort, pain during sex, testicular pain or rectal symptoms, depending on the site of infection.
Is this test intended for home use?
No. The test is CE-marked and intended for professional use in healthcare settings.
