FDA 510k for Treponema Pallidum Nontreponemal Test Reagents
Treponema pallidum nontreponemal test reagent is a laboratory device used to detect antibodies against syphilis by utilizing antigens derived from sources not directly associated with the Treponema pallidum bacteria itself, essentially identifying an antibody-like substance called “reagin” produced by the body in response to a syphilis infection, rather than directly detecting the bacteria itself; commonly used as a screening test for syphilis due to its readily available and relatively inexpensive nature, but often requires confirmation with a more specific “treponemal” test to ensure accuracy.
Intended Use of Treponema Pallidum Nontreponemal Test Reagents
Treponema pallidum nontreponemal test reagents are devices that consist of antigens derived from nontreponemal sources (sources not directly associated with treponemal organisms) and control sera (standardized sera with which test results are compared) used in serological tests to identify reagin, an antibody-like agent, which is produced from the reaction of treponema microorganisms with body tissues. The identification aids in the diagnosis of syphilis caused by microorganisms belonging to the genus Treponema and provides epidemiological information on syphilis.
