Using a swab sample collected from the eye, nose or mouth, the combination test screens for FHV and FCV antigen using a single test device, with results available in 10 minutes. No blood sample is required, with tests available from a minimum order of 20 tests.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat are Feline Herpesvirus and Calicivirus?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFeline herpesvirus (FHV) and feline calicivirus (FCV) are two common viral infections that can affect the respiratory system of cats. Both can cause signs such as sneezing, nasal or eye discharge and reduced appetite, while their signs and severity can vary between individual cats.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause the signs of FHV and FCV can overlap, screening for both viruses together can provide useful initial information when the cause of respiratory or related signs is unclear.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor more information about these conditions, including common signs and how they can spread, read our \u003cstrong\u003eFeline Herpesvirus and Calicivirus guides in the Test Library\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eKey features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e2-in-1 screening for FHV and FCV\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSuitable for cats\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUses an eye, nose or mouth secretion swab\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo blood sample required\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eResults ready in 10 minutes\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMinimum order: 20 tests\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFree UK delivery\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eClear instructions provided\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat’s included?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIndividually sealed 2-in-1 test devices\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSample collection swabs\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBuffer tubes\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWorkstation\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstructions for use\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eClinical performance and manufacturing quality\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eClinical performance\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eClinical performance was evaluated using separate sample sets, with results compared against PCR reference testing, an established molecular laboratory method used to detect the genetic material of feline herpesvirus and feline calicivirus.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the clinical evaluations detailed in the supplied instructions, the test demonstrated:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFHV: 96.00% sensitivity and 98.33% specificity\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFCV: 97.00% sensitivity and 99.20% specificity\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe evaluation included 500 samples for FHV and 350 samples for FCV.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eManufacturing quality\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eManufactured in a specialist diagnostic facility operating under ISO 13485, production includes controlled manufacturing processes, in-process inspections and batch-level quality checks before release.
