Comments:

This test has not been evaluated for patients without signs and symptoms of respiratory tract infection. Zicam at 15% (w/v) may interfere with the detection of low levels of influenza B and RSV A.

The Xpert Xpress SARS-CoV-2/Flu/RSV PLUS test is a rapid, multiplexed real-time RT-PCR test intended for the detection and differentiation of SARS-CoV-2, influenza A, influenza B, and respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) viral RNA in specimens collected from individuals suspected of respiratory viral infection consistent with COVID-19.

Negative results do not preclude infection and should not be used as the sole basis for treatment or other patient management decisions. Combine results with clinical observations, patient history, and epidemiological information.
