Test Kits (Malaria, HIV, Dengue) Point-of-care diagnostics

** What They Are**

Rapid Diagnostic Test (RDT) kits are user-friendly, point-of-care tools that enable fast detection of specific infections—such as malaria, HIV, and dengue—without requiring advanced lab equipment. These tests rely on lateral flow immuno-chromatography or antigen/antibody detection methods. 

** Malaria RDTs**

These detect antigens of Plasmodium parasites (often P. falciparum or pan-species). They are especially useful in remote or low-resource settings where microscopy isn’t available. Results appear via visible test lines within 10–20 minutes.

** HIV Rapid Test Kits**

Designed to detect antibodies or antigens associated with HIV infection—some even allow oral fluid testing (e.g., OraQuick). Ideal for early screening and community-level testing due to their ease of use and quick turnaround. 

** Dengue Rapid Tests**

Often detect NS1 antigen (useful for early-stage detection) or IgM/IgG antibodies. These combo tests enable quick diagnosis during acute febrile episodes. 

** Key Benefits of RDT Kits**

•Rapid results: Typically within 10–20 minutes

•Field-friendly: No specialized equipment needed

•Cost-effective: Especially valuable in low-resource or high-volume settings

•Supports early disease management: Facilitates timely treatment or referral 

Suction Catheters Respiratory support in ICUs

Description & Best Practices for Use

** What Is a Suction Catheter?**

A suction catheter is a sterile, flexible or rigid medical tube inserted into a patient's airway (e.g., trachea, bronchi, oropharynx) to remove secretions and maintain airway patency. 

** Types & Selection Insights:**

Yankauer (Rigid) – Ideal for oropharyngeal suctioning; sturdy and precise, standard in surgical and emergency settings. 

Soft/Flexible Catheters – Made of PVC or silicone, gentle on airway tissues; suitable for tracheal or tracheostomy suctioning and long-term applications.

Closed Suction Systems – Allow suctioning while maintaining a ventilator connection, reducing infection risk and preserving ventilation. Available in Y-, L-, and T-shaped variants.

** Key Features to Highlight:**

Rounded, atraumatic tips with side eyes reduce tissue trauma. Color-coded connectors aid rapid size identification (e.g., 06 Fr = Light Green, 14 Fr = Green). 

Control valves enable precise suction regulation—critical in ICU, pediatric, and neonatal care.

** Clinical Usage & Safety Guidelines:**

Choose a catheter no more than 50% of the airway internal diameter (measured in French). 

Limit suction duration to ≤ 15 seconds and allow reoxygenation between attempts to reduce hypoxia. 

Follow strict sterile technique and patient monitoring to avoid complications like mucosal trauma, infection, and bradycardia.
