Reject Criteria (Eg, hemolysis? Lipemia? Thaw/Other?)
Gross hemolysis • Gross lipemia • Bacterially contaminated specimens
Methodology
Chemiluminescent immunoassay (CLIA). Performed on the Liaison XL.
Setup Schedule
This assay is performed at least twice per week.
Limitations
Test indicates past exposure, not presence of active infection with circulating virus. Specimens taken early during the acute phase of infection may not contain detectable levels of IgG antibodies
Reference Range
Results are reported as Negative, Equivocal, or Positive. Equivocal results were repeated and confirmed at the border between Negative and Positive.
Clinical Significance
This test is used for the qualitative determination of IgG antibodies to mumps virus in human serum. It is intended to be used as an aid in the determination of serological status to mumps virus.
