INTENDED USE
The K-ASSAY ®   Total IgE is an in vitro diagnostic reagent for the quantitative determination of circulating total IgE in human serum or plasma by immunoturbidimetric assay for use as an aid in the clinical diagnosis of IgE mediated allergic disorders in conjunction with other clinical findings.
FOR IN VITRO DIAGNOSTIC USE.

REAGENT PREPARATION
The reagents are ready to use.  They do not need to be reconstituted.  Mix before using by gently inverting the bottles.  After opening, gently invert Reagent 2 once a week.

STORAGE AND HANDLING
All reagents should be stored refrigerated (2-8°C) and protected from light.  Return all reagents to 2-8°C promptly after use.  Unopened reagents can be used for one year from the date of manufacture, as indicated by the expiration date on the package and bottle labels.  Opened reagents can be used for one month if stored at 2-8°C.

PERFORMANCE
Precision
The precision for the K-ASSAY ®   Total IgE assay was determined using packaged reagents, pooled human serum, and a Hitachi 917 analyzer.
