Ambient: Unacceptable; Refrigerated: 2 weeks; Frozen: 2 weeks (avoid repeated freeze/thaw cycles) 
Reference Interval
Not Detected
Interpretive Data
Less than 0.4 ng/ml=Not Detected
0.4-3.1 ng/mL=Detected (below the limit of quantification)
3.2-20.0 ng/mL=Detected
Greater than 20.0 ng/mL=Detected (above the limit of quantification)

The quantitative range of this assay is 3.2-20.0 ng/mL. Antigen concentrations between 0.4-3.1 or>20.0 ng/mL fall outside the linear range of the assay and cannot be accurately quantified.

This EIA test should be used in conjunction with other diagnostic procedures, including microbiological culture, histological examination of biopsy samples, and/or radiographic evidence, to aid in the diagnosis of histoplasmosis.

Compliance Statement B: This test was developed and its performance characteristics determined by ARUP Laboratories. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has not approved or cleared this test; however, FDA clearance or approval is not currently required for clinical use. The results are not intended to be used as the sole means for clinical diagnosis or patient management decisions.
