The VScan™ line of test kits is designed for the rapid initial
screening of various serious infectious diseases (many of which
are at pandemic levels in various parts of the world. including
HIV (Types 1 &
2), Hepatitis B & C and Tuberculosis (TB),
West Nile virus and Dengue Fever.
Recently new kits have been introduced to detect for
sexual transmitted diseases (STDs) and for the initial
detection of cancer. The STD kit tests for Syphilis
and the Cancer kit tests for Prostate Cancer.
Other innovative kits are under development.
The VScan™ HIV test kit has
demonstrated a very high sensitivity using whole blood.
The VScan™ rapid test kit incorporates a unique
combination of antigens which has the ability to
identify all classes of HIV antibodies and is able to
detect HIV very early (as early as a few days). This is
through the detection of the IgM antibodies. Other test
kits detect the virus at a later more chronic stage
(through the detection of only the IgG antibodies). This
makes the VScan™ HIV 1 & 2 rapid test kit the most
sensitive test kit available.
VScan™ rapid test kit for Tuberculosis (TB) is the only
TB test kit that measures ONLY ACTIVE TB. There are NO
false positives with the VScan™ TB rapid test kits.
Previous testing has shown that the VScan™ TB test kit
has a sensitivity of 80% and a specificity of 100%.
These results substantially exceed the accuracy of any
other existing TB tests.
Existing TB tests routinely produce false positives when
a person has previously been vaccinated against TB using
some of the vaccines available. This results in further
testing that is expensive, stressful to the individual
and time consuming. The VScan™ TB test kit is the only
known test kit for TB that measures only ACTIVE TB and
does not produce false positives.
These
products have been thoroughly tested and evaluated in
the lab, in volunteers (under Doctor supervision) and by
independent sources (including Governments) and have
been shown to meet or exceed the existing global standards
for both sensitivity and specificity.
None of these products are available for sale in
Canada or the United States.
