PROCLEIX® ULTRIO® Assay*

* FDA approved to screen donors for HIV-1 and HCV only.

Minimal impact on current operation

  • Pivotal trial for PROCLEIX® ULTRIO® Assay conducted at 4 U.S. study sites.
  • Study compared PROCLEIX® ULTRIO® Assay and discriminatory assays with serological assays in three clinical lots
  • Clinical Studies included:
    • Analytical and clinical sensitivity studies
    • Specificity studies in normal donor specimens
    • Non-specificity studies in high-risk populations

See PROCLEIX® ULTRIO® Package Insert for complete details on Performance Characteristics.
