    Positive results.

    A colored line in the control line region (C) and the presence of one colored line in the test line region indicate a positive result.

    This indicates that the concentration of D-dimer is above the minimum detection level.

    *NOTE: The intensity of the color in the test line region will vary depending on the concentration of D-dimer, present in the specimen. Therefore, any shade of color in the test line region should be considered positive.

    Negative results.

    One colored line appears in the control line region (C). No line appears in the test line region (T).

    This indicates that the concentration of D-dimer are below the minimum detection levels.

    Invalid results.

    Control line fails to appear. Test did not work.

    Insufficient specimen volume or incorrect procedural techniques are the most likely reasons for control line failure. Review the procedure and repeat the test with a new test.

    If the problem persists, discontinue using the test kit immediately and contact our support.
