QuickVue iFOB TEST
QUALITY CONTROL
Built-in Control Features
The QuickVue iFOB test contains a built-in control feature, the Control line (C-line). The
presence of this burgundy C-line indicates that an adequate specimen volume was used
and that the reagents migrated properly. If a C-line does not form, the test is considered
invalid. In this case, review the entire procedure and repeat the test with a new device.
External Quality Control
Good laboratory practice recommends the use of external quality controls to assure
the functionality of reagents and proper performance of the test procedure. For this
purpose, we recommend using the QuickVue iFOB Control Set (Catalog Number: 20197).
External Controls should be tested following the Test Procedure section. If the controls
do not perform as expected, repeat the test or contact Quidel Technical Support before
testing patient specimens.
