"This Summary presents an overview of the results of the first and second rounds of WHO product testing of malaria antigen-detecting RDTs completed in 2008 and 2009 respectively, and is published in conjunction with the release of the results of Round 2. The results of the two rounds of testing should be considered as a single data set, and the full reports of both Rounds 1 and 2 consulted for further detail on product performance, and on the interpretation and use of these results." - p. 1
