The Need

Globally, co-circulation of SARS-CoV-2, influenza and respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) was observed during the 2022 respiratory season with the easing of COVID-19 measures. This led to increased burden on healthcare infrastructure and increased risk of severe illness for high-risk populations.^1,2

Rapid testing to facilitate early diagnosis of high-risk patient populations and adoption of respiratory multiplexed tests with the integration of SARS-CoV-2 testing are required.⁵
Ensure the accuracy of test performance despite new SARS-CoV-2 variants⁴ and influenza A mutations.³
Rapid testing results to facilitate early diagnosis for effective patient management.⁵
Multiplexing ability for the most prevalent and actionable pathogens (SARS-CoV-2, influenza A, influenza B, RSV) to simplify the diagnosis process.

The Solution

The Xpert Xpress CoV-2/Flu/RSV plus test is a multiplexed real-time PCR test intended for the simultaneous in vitro qualitative detection and differentiation of RNA from SARS-CoV-2, influenza A, influenza B, and/or RSV in nasopharyngeal swab or anterior nasal swab specimens collected from individuals with signs and/or symptoms of respiratory viral infection.
The Xpert Xpress CoV-2/Flu/RSV plus test:

Provides fast and accurate results in as early as 25 minutes^# for SARS-CoV-2.
Utilizes a multi-gene target approach for the detection of SARS-CoV-2 and influenza providing target redundancy to mitigate the potential impact of genetic shift and drift on strain detection.
Detects SARS-CoV-2, influenza A, influenza B, and/or RSV simultaneously.

# With Early Assay Termination (EAT) for positive results.

The Impact

Xpert Xpress CoV-2/Flu/RSV plus allows for accurate and rapid results, optimizing diagnostic efficiency and improving the provision of appropriate treatment⁶
Testing with Xpert Xpress CoV-2/Flu/RSV plus may result in significant cost-savings compared to antigen and send-out PCR testing strategies and may result in fewer hospitalizations, ICU admissions, mechanical ventilations, and deaths compared to antigen and send-out PCR testing strategies⁶
Gives the right result first time, reducing the need for reflex and/or confirmatory testing⁷
