Compliance Category

FDA

Note

The HBV core total assay tests for IgG and IgM antibodies, but does not differentiate between them.

HBsAb results greater than 1,000.00 IU/L are reported as greater than 1,000.00 IU/L.

If results for HBsAg screen are reactive (=1.0), then HBsAg Confirmation, Prenatal will be added. Additional charges apply.
