TEST NAME					         RESULT
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
AUSTRALIA ANTIGEN (HBsAG)	:-	              	NEGATIVE
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

INTERPRETATION OF RESULTS:
•	Samples with S/N less than 2.00 are negative by the AxSYM HbsAg(V2) assay and need not be tested further.
•	Samples with S/N values greater than or equal to 2.00 are considered reactive. 

LIMITATIONS OF THE PROCEDURE :
It is recognized  that presently available methods for the detection of hepatitis B surface antigen may not detect all potentially infectious units of blood or infected individuals. A nonreactive test result does not exclude the possibility of exposure to or infection with hepatitis B. Nonreactive test results in individuals with prior exposure to hepatitis B may be due to antigen levels below the detection limit of this assay or lack of antigen reactivity to the antibodies used in this assay.
