Donor, Syphilis IgG Antibody
Test Code17389
CPT Codes
86780
Preferred Specimen
1 mL serum
Minimum Volume
0.5 mL
Instructions
Label the tubes according to your standard operating procedure, making sure that each tube has at least two unique patient identifiers.
If transport temperature will be frozen, centrifuge the red top tube and transfer the serum into a plastic screw-cap vial. The plastic screw-cap vial (aliquot tube) containing serum must be labeled with the specimen type (serum) and at least two unique patient identifiers. Aliquot tubes must be processed and labeled at the original collection site. If aliquot tubes are submitted, do not send the original red top tube.
Room temperature transport is acceptable. Do not store room temperature.
Please note: This test is to be used for the screening of DONORS of human cells, tissues, and cellular and tissue-based products for infectious diseases.
For Shipper collection please see detailed instructions in Test Resources.

Clinical Significance
Detection of treponemal antibodies may indicate recent, past, or successfully treated syphilis infections, therefore, the test cannot be used to differentiate between active and cured cases. A reactive syphilis antibody test result may be used to disqualify a potential blood, cell or tissue donor.
