IVDR Certification
This probe is IVDR-certified in compliance with the Regulation (EU) 2017/746 on in vitro diagnostic medical devices (IVDR). For organizational reasons, we currently provide only the IVDD product.
The XL t(4;14) FGFR3/IGH DF dual-fusion probe is a qualitative, non-automated test for the detection of IGH::FGFR3-rearrangements, t(4;14)(p16.3;q32.3) by fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH). The product is intended as a diagnostic aid and assists in disease monitoring. The test population consists of patients with confirmed or suspected multiple myeloma (MM). Hybridization is to be performed on methanol/acetic-acid fixed plasma cells.
The XL t(4;14) FGFR3/IGH DF dual-fusion probe consists of an orange-labeled probe hybridizing to the FGFR3 gene region at 4p16.3 and a green-labeled probe hybridizing to the IGH gene region at 14q32.3.
XL t(4;14) IGH/FGFR3 DF hybridized to lymphocytes. Two normal interphases are shown.
Normal Cell:
Two green (2G) and two orange (2O) signals.
Aberrant Cell (typical results):
One green (1G), one orange (1O), and two greenorange colocalization/fusion signals (2GO) resulting from a reciprocal translocation between the respective loci.
