Special Info

Grossly hemolyzed samples, lipemic samples, samples containing particulate matter, samples exhibiting obvious microbial contamination and heat inactivated serum are not recommended and should not be tested. The magnitude of the measured result is not indicative of the amount of antibody present.

Clinical Info

A negative result suggests no history of Rubella vaccination or exposure to Rubella virus, however, some individuals with past history of Rubella vaccination may test negative using this test as immunity to Rubella virus wanes over time after vaccination. Please correlate with vaccination history if applicable. Equivocal results cannot exclude non-specific reactivity or recent or past exposure to Rubella virus including vaccination. Equivocal result may also be seen due to waning immunity to Rubella virus or presence of passively-transferred antibodies. Please correlate with patient’s history.

Clinical Limitation

Performance has not been established for cord blood, neonates or for immunocompromised or immunosuppressed individuals.
