Set parameters: Choose data to display:
Select target malaria species Panel detection score, 200 parasites/µl
Minimum panel detection score*
"Panel detection score", termed "Detection rate" in the Round 1 Report, is defined as the frequency with which all RDTs tested on a sample in the evaluation panel were positive (2 RDTs from each of 2 lots positive against each 200 parasites/µl sample and 1 RDT from each lot positive against each 2000-5000 parasites/µl sample).

If an invalid result occurred, this test was ignored in the result (but is reflected in the “Invalid rate”). Therefore, this index of performance is a measure of positivity rate and inter-test and inter-lot consistency.
 for P. falciparum (%) 		Panel detection score, 2000-5000 parasites/µl
Minimum panel detection score for P. vivax (%) Invalid rate
Maximum false positive rate
“False positive rate” is the frequency with which RDTs developed visible test lines when tested against samples of the ‘clean negative’ panel (samples with no malaria parasites and no known other infectious agents or blood abnormalities).
False positive rate
Maximum invalid test rate
“Invalid rate” is the frequency with which RDTs failed to develop a control line, (invalid result) when tested against the parasite-positive panel.
Heat stability
Heat (thermal) stability is assessed as the number of positive test results obtained from tests after storage for 60 days at 35°C, and the same number of tests stored for 2 months at 45°C.

In Rounds 1 & 2, 10 RDTs from each lot (total = 20) were tested against panels of a culture-derived P. falciparum sample diluted to 200 parasites/µL and 2000 parasites/µL.

In Round 3, 15 from each lot were tested at 200 (total = 30) and 5 at 2000 (total = 10).
