SUMMARY OF HDS PRODUCTS / SERVICES
5
HDS offers high quality, reliable assays
that address the global medical communitys need
for simple, fast, and affordable rapid testing
for infectious diseases including HIV/AIDS,
tuberculosis, malaria, and others.
6
  • HDS offers unique proprietary and patented
    delivery systems incorporating high-quality test
    strips, manufactured under US GMP conditions,
    creating a system of rapid diagnostic assays
    unlike that of any other company.

RAPID TESTING
8
WHAT IS RAPID TESTING?
  • A rapid test is generally conducted in the field
    or clinic setting, outside of a laboratory
  • Tests are usually based on the principles of
    (lateral flow) immunochromatography or
    hemaglutination
  • Performed typically on, whole blood, urine or
    oral fluid
  • Test results available in 10-20 minutes instead
    of days
  • High degree of sensitivity/specificity
  • Require limited training, simple to administer
  • Require little or no equipment

9
HDS RAPID TESTING TECHNOLOGIES
Rapid 1-2-3 Hema immunoassays include
individually color-coded tests for --HIV
1 / 2 --Tuberculosis (TB)
--Malaria (pf, pf/pv, pf/pv/p total)
--Syphilis
10
COLOR CODED STRIP TECHNOLOGY
  • Each HDS test strip is individually color-coded
    to help eliminate confusion, and to easily
    identify the type of test in use.
  • HIV RED
  • TB YELLOW
  • MALARIA GREEN
  • SYPHILIS BROWN
  • HEPATITIS BLUE

11
PACKAGING
  • Color coding on (foil) packaging
  • matches color coding of
  • test strips in the various
  • product formats

12
HDS RAPID TESTING PLATFORMS
  • HDS Rapid Testing platforms include
  • RAPID 1-2-3 HEMA EXPRESS
  • RAPID 1-2-3 HEMA EZ
  • RAPID 1-2-3 HEMA DIPSTICK STRIPS

13
RAPID 1-2-3 HEMA EXPRESS
  • Designed specifically for application in
    developing nations.
  • Whole blood, serum or plasma specimens
  • Room temperature storage
  • Long shelf life
  • Safe

14
RAPID 1-2-3 HEMA EXPRESS
  • The EXPRESS device is an easy-to-use,
    accurate, low cost, rapid testing platform with a
    small sample requirement (10-30 µL, fingerstick
    blood).
  • All components are safe and simple to handle.
  • HOW IT WORKS
  • Remove protective
  • cover from EXPRESS
  • device, exposing the
  • sample pad.

15
RAPID 1-2-3 HEMA EXPRESS
  • Prick finger using safety lancet
  • Touch sample pad to drop of blood

16
RAPID 1-2-3 HEMA EXPRESS
  • The sample pad will absorb blood sample. Sample
    should flow to between the patent pending design
    that incorporates Minimum and Maximum fill
    lines.

17
RAPID 1-2-3 HEMA EXPRESS
  • Insert the assay into the diluent tube.
  • Blood and diluent flow onto strip.

18
RAPID 1-2-3 HEMA EXPRESS
  • Within a few minutes a Control line appears
    indicating the test is functioning correctly.

19
RAPID 1-2-3 HEMA EXPRESS
  • Read the Result at 15 minutes
  • If the test is negative,
    ONLY the Control
    line (C) will appear.

20
RAPID 1-2-3 HEMA EXPRESS
  • If the test is
  • positive, then
  • BOTH the
  • Control line (C)
  • and the Test line (T)
  • will appear

21
RAPID 1-2-3 HEMA EZ PLATFORM
  • Designed to meet the requirements of the Global
    market, including the United States, EU and Japan
  • A simple and reproducible method of testing in
    point of care situations such as doctors offices,
    mobile clinics, outpatient centers
  • Currently being considered for over-the-counter
    use in a number of countries around the world.

22
RAPID 1-2-3 HEMA EZ
  • The Rapid 1-2-3 Hema EZ device is a simple to
    use delivery platform that captures potentially
    infected blood within the housing.
  • Sample pick-up is by a unique capillary, which
    holds (fingerstick) whole blood until it is ready
    to be released on to the test strip.

23
RAPID 1-2-3 HEMA EZ
  • HOW IT WORKS
  • Prick finger with safety lancet
  • Touch the tip of the sampler to the drop of
    blood. Blood will automatically be drawn up by
    capillary action into the sampler

24
RAPID 1-2-3HEMA EZ
  • Place sampler containing the blood collected
  • into the lower housing.

25
RAPID 1-2-3 HEMA EZ
  • Push down on
  • the top of the
  • diluent filled pod
  • Diluent in the pod and the blood in the sampler
    are released. Sampler
    and housing
    are locked in place.

26
RAPID 1-2-3 HEMA EZ
  • Blood and diluent flow
    down onto the test
  • strip.
  • Within a few minutes a Control
    line appears indicating
    the test is functioning
    properly.

27
RAPID 1-2-3 HEMA EZ
  • Read Results
  • at 15 Minutes
  • If the test is negative, ONLY the
    control line (C)
    will appear.
  • If the test is positive, BOTH the
    control line (C) and the
    test line (T)
    will appear

28
HDS DIPSTICK FORMAT ASSAYS
  • Each assay consists of
  • Desiccated canister (containing 25, 50, or 100
    test strips)
  • Vial with diluent buffer
  • Safety lancets
  • Blood loops
  • OEM packaging available (optional)
  • Sample trays (upon request)

    effectively in screening algorithms.
  • We do this with the knowledge that resources
    (facilities, manpower, financing) is not always
    available.
  • Consequently we develop high quality products
    at low cost
