PRECAUTIONS
1. All reagents are For Research Use Only. Not for use in diagnostic procedures.
2. This is a quality control reagent and is used to evaluate the performance of the RUO Alethia Malaria and
RUO Alethia Malaria PLUS DNA Amplification Assays. It is not directly used to test patient samples.
3. Do not eat, drink or smoke in areas where specimens or kit reagents are handled.
4. Wear disposable gloves while handling specimens and thoroughly wash hands afterwards.
5. Quality Control Programs for Molecular Testing Laboratories should be employed.
6. The RUO Alethia Malaria Test Devices contain lyophilized reagents. The protective pouch should not be
opened until ready to perform the assay.
7. The RUO Alethia Malaria Test Devices include a latch feature that is designed to prevent contamination of
the test area with amplification product. Do NOT use Test Devices with broken latches.
8. Dispose of used RUO Alethia Test Devices, M-prep Columns, and tubes immediately after processing,
leaving the device latch securely in place. Opening the device after amplification may result in contamination
