Xpert® Xpress Flu/RSV

Flu/RSV computer generated depiction.

Fast, accurate and reliable detection of flu A, flu B, and or RSV in one test

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

The Solution

a male and a female researchers scanning cepheid test cartridges
  • Accurate and reliable detection of Flu A, Flu B and RSV in as soon as 20 minutes* for patients of all ages
  • Provides PCR results to support clinical decision‑making related to patient management and infection‑control considerations
  • Molecular testing has been shown to support laboratory workflow efficiency in integrated health systems.7
* For positive Flu only or RSV only. Reporting negatives and combined reporting in 30 minutes.

The Impact

Single‑test workflow that supports on‑demand, random‑access testing flexibility. Combine performance with the capability to run other Xpert® tests on GenXpert® system may support laboratory workflow efficiency in certain testing environments

Be Proactive
  • Achive fast results to support patient management
  • Early assay termination option: deliver positive results in as soon as 20 minutes* and negative results in 30 minutes
  • Quickly deliver targeted therapies
* For positive Flu only or RSV only. Reporting negatives and combined reporting in 30 minutes.
