Specimens containing HCV genotypes 1-6 have been validated for quantitation in the assay. The VERSANT® HCV RNA 3.0 Assay (bDNA) is intended for use as an aid in the management of HCV-infected patients undergoing anti-viral therapy. The assay measures HCV RNA levels at baseline and during treatment and is useful in predicting non-sustained virological response to HCV therapy. The results from the VERSANT® HCV RNA 3.0 Assay (bDNA) must be interpreted within the context of all relevant clinical and laboratory findings. Assay performance characteristics have been established only for individuals treated with interferon alfa-2b plus ribavirin. No information is available on the assay’s predictive values when other therapies are used.
