Invitation to Suppliers/Manufacturers of Rapid HIV and Dual HIV & Syphilis Test Kits
The Ethiopian Public Health Institute (EPHI) is planning to undertake a verification study of HIV Rapid Diagnostic kits for the establishment of new quality assured national HIV Rapid Testing Algorithms. The study is aimed at assessing for the least possible shared common false HIV-reactivity among Rapid Diagnostic Tests (RDTs) to be used in the three-test serial algorithms. In addition, the planned verification study will also include rapid diagnostic kits for the dual or simultaneous detection of antibodies to HIV-1/2 and Syphilis to identify potential test kits which, at times of specific programmatic needs, will serve as the first test in conjunction with the approved national HIV Testing Algorithms. Therefore, EPHI invites interested suppliers/manufacturers to submit Rapid HIV and/or dual HIV & Syphilis Test Kits to be considered for the verification process which shall fulfill the following criteria:
(N.B. Submissions of different pack sizes of the same kit are highly encouraged).
- Currently in the list of World Health Organization (WHO) prequalified In Vitro Diagnostics.
- Kits are complete with at least the following materials in package: Package insert/Test instruction sheet in English, lancets, alcohol swabs, sample transfer pipettes/droppers, running buffer.
- Very Important Note: In the event a specific kit passes the verification study, accepted for inclusion in the potential national HIV Testing Algorithms and becomes eligible for procurement, the supplier’s offer shall include all the listed items with no exception.
- Shelf-life of the test kits should be for at least one year.
- Submission of Letter/s of Authorization from the manufacturer/s of the kit/s submitted
