Note: Fractions represent the number of positive results for each test (numerator) out of those that were positive by the index test (denominator). The results are of the form: proportion (%). The number of positive index tests (denominator) changes by column because it only includes specimens with valid results by the comparison test (numerator).

*Based on 10 µl blood specimen.
