Order & Support
Flu/RSV computer generated depiction.
Accurate and reliable detection of Flu A, Flu B and RSV to quickly deliver targeted therapies.

The Need

an ill woman listens to a physician
  • In patients of all ages, influenza and RSV often present with similar clinical symptoms, making it difficult to differentiate between the two infections1
  • Sensitivities of Rapid EIA Flu tests range from 50-70%2
  • Sensitivities of Rapid Antigen RSV tests average 29% in adults3
  • Both Rapid EIA and Antigen manufacturers suggest confirming negative results with RT-PCR or culture2
