The Need

Norovirus is a highly contagious virus and is the most common cause of viral gastroenteritis worldwide. Globally, the virus affects approximately 267 million people and causes over 200,000 deaths each year.²

Norovirus outbreaks in healthcare institutions require immediate implementation of infection control measures to avoid ward closures
Patients with acute diarrhea should be placed into isolation until proven non-infectious³
The ease of Norovirus transmission, with a very low infectious dose of 10–100 virions, short incubation period (24–48 hours), and lack of durable immunity, enables Norovirus to spread rapidly⁴

The Solution

Controlling a Norovirus outbreak requires a fast, accurate and easy-to-use test that detects Noroviruses of genogroup I (GI) and genogroup II (GII), which are responsible for the majority of infections.
Xpert^® Norovirus delivers:

Fast and accurate identification of Norovirus GI & GII in as little as one hour*
Actionable results for clinicians when it is needed most
Laboratory efficiencies with on-demand workflows requiring minimal hands-on time
Timely infection control initiatives to reduce the spread of infection
Optimized management of isolation beds for improved patient management and reduced costs

* with EAT (Early Assay Termination), for positive results. Reporting negative results in 90 minutes.

The Impact

Fast and accurate PCR testing with Xpert^® Norovirus greatly improves time to result, allowing healthcare professionals to quickly identify, isolate and appropriately manage patients, helping prevent spread.
Improve Workflow and Patient Management⁵

Deliver actionable results, across laboratory and POC, to clinicians in as little as one hour*
On-demand and STAT testing removes the need for batching, providing results 24/7
Ease of use and minimal hands-on-time enables more efficient use of staff time

Impact on Patient Pathway: "Test and Treat"

* with EAT (Early Assay Termination), for positive results. Reporting negative results in 90 minutes.
