Test Code LAB6825 SARS/Influenza/RSV, Molecular Detection
Intended Use
The Xpert Xpress CoV-2/Flu/RSV plus test is a rapid, multiplexed real-time RT-PCR test intended for the simultaneous qualitative detection and differentiation of RNA from SARS-CoV-2, influenza A, influenza B, and/or respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) in either nasopharyngeal swab, anterior nasal swab or nasal wash/ aspirate specimens collected from individuals suspected of respiratory viral infection, consistent with COVID-19, by their healthcare provider. Clinical signs and symptoms of respiratory viral infection due to SARS-CoV-2, influenza, and RSV can be similar.
