Who Should Consider This Package?

The Surgical Panel (HIV, HBsAg, HCV) is essential for the following individuals:

• Patients undergoing surgery: This test is crucial for anyone preparing for surgery, as it helps identify potential infections that could impact the procedure or post-surgical recovery.
• Healthcare workers: Doctors, nurses, and other healthcare professionals frequently exposed to blood or bodily fluids can benefit from regular testing to ensure their safety.
• People with past exposure to infections: Individuals with a history of needle use, unprotected sexual encounters, or contact with infected individuals should consider this test to assess their risk and ensure early detection of infections.
• Individuals planning blood transfusion or organ donation: To avoid transmission of these infections to recipients, this test ensures safe transfusions and transplants.
• People with weakened immunity: Those with compromised immune systems, such as patients with chronic illnesses, HIV, or undergoing chemotherapy, should screen for these infections to manage their health better.

What Tests are Included in the Surgical Panel (HIV, HBsAg, HCV)?

This panel offers a set of targeted tests to detect three major viral infections that could affect an individual’s health and the safety of surgical procedures:

Test 1: HCV Tridot Test

This test detects antibodies to the Hepatitis C Virus (HCV), indicating whether a person has been infected with the virus. Hepatitis C can cause chronic liver disease if left untreated, making early detection essential, especially before surgery.

Test 2: HBsAg Screening Rapid Test

This test screens for Hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg), which indicates an ongoing Hepatitis B infection. Hepatitis B is a liver infection that can lead to severe liver damage. Knowing the patient’s status helps healthcare providers take necessary precautions during surgery.

Test 3: HIV Rapid Test

This test detects antibodies for HIV, the virus that causes Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS). Early detection of HIV is crucial for managing the infection and reducing the risk of transmission, especially in surgical environments.

Why is Surgical Panel (HIV, HBsAg, HCV) Beneficial?

The Surgical Panel (HIV, HBsAg, HCV) is specifically designed to ensure patient safety and minimize infection risks during surgical procedures. Here’s why it is highly beneficial:

• Critical for Pre-Surgical Screening: This panel ensures that patients undergoing surgery are thoroughly screened for key infections, minimising the risk of complications and ensuring a safe surgical environment.
• Cost-Effective: The panel offers three essential tests bundled together at a competitive price, saving costs compared to performing individual tests separately.
• Time-Saving and Efficient: By consolidating multiple tests into a single package, patients can complete the necessary pre-surgical screening in one visit, ensuring faster results and preparation for surgery.
• Single Blood Draw for Multiple Tests: Instead of multiple blood samples, this panel allows for a single blood draw to test for all three infections, making the process more convenient and less invasive for the patient.
• Comprehensive Coverage: This panel covers the most critical viral infections (HIV, Hepatitis B, and Hepatitis C) that can pose a threat during surgery, ensuring thorough assessment and timely intervention if necessary.
