Respiratory Infections
Why use ?
Laboratories face increasing numbers of respiratory samples for testing each year as greater pressure is placed on clinicians to determine the cause of infection before prescribing antibiotics.
• Maintain clinically relevant turn-around times even during peak testing season.
• Ensure timely reporting of results to optimize treatment decisions for patient management.
Tested on hundreds of clinical and QAP samples, demonstrates excellent sensitivity and specificity.
