WE, SAHARA DIAGNOSTICS,
WELCOME YOU TO QBC- MALARIA,
FILARIA (BY FLUORESCENT
MICROSCOPY) PRESENTATION.
SCENARIO OF MALARIA IN ORISSA



MALARIA - STILL A GIANT KILLER IN THIS 21ST CENTURY OF
MEDICAL ADVANCEMENT.
A REAL CAUSE OF SERIOUS CONCERN !!!!!!!!
AS PER TIMES OF INDIA PUBLICATION :
– ORISSA STILL TOPS THE LIST OF MALARIA DEATHS IN THE
COUNTRY.
– MALARIA DEATHS IN 2002 & 03 ARE 465 AND 333
RESPECTIVELY.
– NEARLY 45% OF TOTAL DEATHS IN THE COUNTRY, OCCUR
IN ORISSA ONLY.
– ORISSA ALSO COMPRISES 25% OF THE TOTAL MALARIA
CASES IN THE COUNTRY.
– IN 2003, THE ENTIRE ORISSA WAS IN GRIP OF DEADLY
FALCIPARUM MALARIA WHICH IS ABOUT 85% OF TOTAL
MALARIA CASES REPORTED.
– OUT OF 4.17 LAKH MALARIA CASES REPORTED, 3.46
LAKH AFFECTED BY P.F
– EVEN OUR CHIEF MINISTER ON THE OCCASION OF
NATIONAL MALARIA PREVENTION MONTH IN
JUNE LAST EXPRESSED SERIOUS CONCERN OVER
MALARIA DEATHS IN ORISSA.
– C.M FURTHER EMPHASIZED THAT MALARIA STILL NOT
CONTROLLED AS PER EXPECTATION IN ORISSA DESPITE
THE FACT THAT STATE GOVT. HAS ALREADY SPENT Rs. 14
CRORE OVER A SPAN OF LAST 7 YEARS.
– SO, C.M. CALLED FOR IMMEDIATE STEPS TO CONTROL
THIS DEADED DISEASE ON TOP PRIORITY.
– WORLD BANK SPONSORED ENHANCED MALARIA
CONTROL PROJECT BEING IMPLEMENTED ALSO IN
MOST OF THE DISTRICTS OF ORISSA
SAHARA’S QBC FROM ( B-D ) , USA, ONLY ORIGINAL
THE MANUFACTURER OF THIS WONDERFUL MACHINE TO CONTROL MALARIA




B-D IS MORE THAN 107 YEARS OLD RESEARCH
ORIENTED COMPANY.
KNOWN FOR ITS QUALITY MEDICAL
EQUIPMENT & SERVICES WORLD WIDE.
B-D IS THE PATENT HOLDER OF QBC
MACHINE.
QBC IS THE REGISTERED TRADEMARK OF B-D,
USA.



U.S FDA APPROVAL IS GIVEN TO A SYSTEM WHICH
CONFORMS ALL PARAMETERS OF APPLIACTION,
RELIABILITY, SAFETY & QUALITY OF THE EQUIPMENT.
NO COMPANY EXCEPT B-D IS AUTHORISED TO
USE THE NAME – QBC.
QBC SYSTEM BEING MANUFACTURED BY B-D
FOR MORE THAN 10 YEARS.
INNOVATIVE COMPONENETS MAKE
OPERATION & ADAPTATION SIMPLE
HOW QBC SYSTEM WORKS

55 – 65UL OF BLOOD IS TAKEN IN QBC TUBE
PRECOATED INTERNALLY WITH ACRADINE
ORANGE STAIN & OTHER REAGENTS.

CLOSURE IS ATTACHED AND A PRECISION
FLOAT INSERTED BEFORE SPINNING THIS
TUBE AT 12,000 RPM IN THE QBC CENTRIFUGE
FOR 5 MINUTES.

COMPONENTS OF BUFFY COAT SEPARATES
BASED ON THEIR DENSITIES (WBC AT THE TOP
& RBC AT BOTTOM OF THE TUBE).
WHY QBC SYSTEM WORKS

KEY TO THE SUCCESS OF THE QBC MALARIA
TEST IS CONCENTRATION

ON CENTRIFUGATION, ALL PARASITIZED RED
BLOOD CELLS LOCATE VISIBLY IN A
PREDICTABLE AREA OF THE QBC TUBE –
MAKING DETECTION EASY AND FAST.

PARASITIZED RBC ARE LIGHTER IN DENSITY
THAN NORMAL RBC SO THEY CONCENTRATE AT
THE TOP OF THE RBC LAYER.

PARASITES CONTAIN DNA WHICH TAKE UP
THE ACRIDINE ORANGE STAIN AND APPEAR
AS BRIGHT SPECK OF LIGHT AMONG
NONFLUORESCING RED BLOOD CELLS.

VIRTUALLY ALL PLASMODIA PRESENT IN
60UL OF BLOOD CAN BE EASILY VISUALISED
AS ONE ROTATES THE QBC TUBE UNDER
THE PARALENS.
HIGH SENSITIVITY





STANDARD 65UL QBC TUBE CONTAINS NEARLY 500
TIMES THE VOLUME INSPECTED IN 100 FIELDS OF
A THICK SMEAR.
QBC TEST IS 100 TIMES MORE SENSITIVE FOR LOW
LEVEL PARASITIMIA THAN THE THICK SMEAR.
QBC MALARIA TEST CAN IDENTIFY ALL THE
DIFFERENT SPECIES AND STAGES OF MALARIA
LIKE PV, PF, P.MALARIE & P.OVALE WITH STAGES
LIKE TROPHOZOITES, GAMETOCYTES & SCHIZONTS
ETC.
QUANTIFICATION OF PARASITEMIAS WITH
SEVERITY OF INFECTIONS CAN BE KNOWN.
QUALITATIVE & DIFFERENTIAL DIAGNOSIS.

BENEFITS OF QBC MALARIA
DETECTION SYSTEM



FASTER AND ACCURATE DETECTION OF
MALARIA PARASITE IN CAPILLARY AND
VENOUS BLOOD – NO FALSE NEGATIVE
CASES.
SPECIES IDENTIFICATION IS EASY, FAST
AND ACCURATE.
EARLY DETECTION OF LOW PARASITEMIA &
BOARDER LINE CASES.





EASY DETECTION FOR PYREXIA OF
UNKNOWN ORIGIN CASES.
MANY LIVES CAN BE SAVED FROM DEADLY P.
FALCIPARUM BY TIMELY AND SPECIFIC
DIAGNOSIS.
SIDE EFFECTS OF LONG TERM TREATMENT
OF ANTI MALARIAL DRUGS CAN BE
MINIMISED.
AND FINALLY, IT WILL HELP TO CONTROL
THE MENACE OF DEADLY KILLER – MALARIA
TO A GREAT EXTENT.
IT ALSO DETECTS MICRO FILARIA.
AS PER WORLD BANK NORM ONLY B-D QUALIFIES ALL
THE CRITERIAS

B-D HAS DESIGNED QBC AND NOT COPIED.

B-D HAS MORE THAN 15 YEARS EXPERIENCE IN
MANUFACTURING QBC.

B-D HAS ISO- 9001, U.S FDA AND CE
CERTIFICATES FOR COMPLETE QBC SYSTEM.

QBC SYSTEM USES UV RADIATION WHICH CAN
BE HAZARDOUS FOR HUMAN EYES BUT OUR
SYSTEM IS 100 % SAFE FOR THE END USERS
AS IT IS APPROVED BY U.S FDA.
THANK YOU ALL
