Evaluation of an IgG Deficiency Rapid Screening Test: A Performance Study With Primary Immunodeficiency (PID) Patients in Tunisia
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
To evaluate the usability and utility of the device, % agreement between the PID-RDT and the referent assay (serum/plasma), and % agreement between capillary blood and venous blood samples using the PID-RDT within confirmed PID patients prior to receipt of their monthly IV-Ig treatment.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- To evaluateusability among end users of the PID rapid screening tests using capillary blood samples obtained from PID patients, prior to receipt of IV-Ig treatment. [3 month]
- Did the test run correctly when following the IFU? •Was the end user (nurse) able to interpret a test result for the patient from the investigational PID RDT (positive, negative) with valid control using a patient's capillary finger prick sample?
- To evaluate % agreement between the PID RDT(using capillary blood)and the referent test (serum/plasma). [3 months]
What is the % agreement between the PID RDT run on capillary blood (Capillary Test A) and the referent assay run on plasma/serum?
Secondary Outcome Measures
- To determinethe utility of the PID RDTwith PID patients. [3 months]
Can the investigational PID RDT be used with a finger prick (capillary) blood sample among study participants? Was the finger prick blood sample successfully collected from the finger and transferred to the PID RDT?•Did the test run complete and give a valid result when run according to instructions? Could a result be interpreted from the PID RDT?
- To determine% agreement between capillary and venous blood samples using the PID RDT [3 months]
What is the % agreement between fresh capillary blood and fresh venous blood using the PID RDT?
