Abbott公司推出乙肝自动筛查检测方法

乙肝表面抗原(HBsAg)和HBsAg确证试验能够用于筛选供血人员的乙肝感染情况。

Prism系统是由Abbott公司(Abbott Park, Il, USA)生产的，以及乙肝检测试验，Prism HB核心抗原最近获得了美国食品药品管理局的许可。其他肝炎和逆转录病毒检测正在接受美国FDA的审核。

已经在30个国家应用，Prism系统将检测整合入单个系统中，能够完成许多当前用于筛查的手工检测。整合入系统中的安全措施有助于追踪和监测整个过程中的每一个标本，为检测工作人员提供质量控制和档案记录。Prism系统每小时能够处理160个样本，能够在8小时内检测超过1,200个样本。
 
Automated Tests Screen Blood for Hepatitis
 
Hepatitis surface antigen (HBsAg) and HBsAg confirmatory tests are used to screen donated blood for hepatitis.

The Prism system produced by Abbott (Abbott Park, Il, USA), together with the hepatitis B test, Prism HB core, were recently cleared by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Additional hepatitis and retrovirus tests are currently under FDA review. Already in use in 30 countries, the Prism system consolidates testing into a single system, automating many of the manual testing procedures and steps currently used for screening blood. Safety measures built into the system help to track and monitor each sample through the testing process, providing documentation and quality control for testing facilities. The Prism system can run 160 samples per hour, making it possible to test more than 1,200 samples in an eight-hour shift.
