- A rapid, professional lateral flow dipstick immunoassay engineered specifically to identify Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) viral fusion protein antigens
Uses
- Pediatric RSV Screening:
- Detects acute RSV infections in symptomatic infants, toddlers, and pediatric patients 18 years of age and younger
- Differential Respiratory Diagnosis:
- Helps doctors differentiate RSV from conditions with overlapping symptoms, like Influenza or COVID-19
- Point-of-Care Management:
- Provides rapid, on-site diagnostics for physician office laboratories (POLs), pediatric clinics, urgent care centers, and hospitals
Features
- 20-Test Configuration:
- Every kit contains 20 diagnostic dipsticks, extraction tubes, disposable pipettes, and a dedicated extraction reagent bottle
- Multiple Validated Sample Types:
- Cleared to process nasopharyngeal swabs, nasopharyngeal aspirates, or nasal/nasopharyngeal wash specimens
- High Clinical Accuracy:
- Delivers specialized diagnostic precision varying slightly by sample method, reaching up to 99% sensitivity for nasopharyngeal aspirates
- CLIA-Waived Status:
- Pre-cleared for simplified, low-complexity testing environments, allowing staff with minimal formal lab training to run the test
- Full Calibration Controls Included:
- Ships with physical positive and negative control swabs right in the box to fulfill routine internal laboratory quality assurance mandates
- Shared Sample Versatility:
- The extracted patient sample fluid can be split to run both this RSV dipstick and a corresponding QuickVue Influenza test using a single collection swab
Benefits
- Fast, 15-Minute Timeline:
- Delivers clear, visual results within 15 minutes with less than 60 seconds of manual hands-on time, ensuring physicians can "test and treat" during the very same patient visit
- Two-Color Result Window:
- Uses high-contrast, dual-color indicator bands (red/blue) to make the test line easy to read, dramatically lowering human interpretation mistakes
- Prevents Pediatric Discomfort:
- Cross-compatibility with other respiratory panels means clinicians do not have to perform multiple intrusive, uncomfortable swabs on sensitive pediatric patients
- No Cold-Chain Space Required:
- Stores securely at a flexible room temperature range of 59°F to 86°F (15°C to 30°C), yhis avoids wasting valuable refrigerator real estate or waiting around for frozen reagents to thaw before a test can be performed
