  • Descripción del producto
    The Verigene Respiratory Virus Plus Nucleic Acid Test (RV+) on the Verigene System is a qualitative nucleic acid multiplex test intended to simultaneously detect and identify multiple respiratory virus nucleic acids in nasopharyngeal (NP) swab specimens from individuals with signs and symptoms of respiratory tract infection. The following virus types and subtypes are identified using the RV+: Influenza A, Influenza A subtype H1, Influenza A subtype H3, 2009 H1N1, Influenza B, Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) subtype A, and RSV subtype B. The test is not intended to detect Influenza C virus. Detecting and identifying specific viral nucleic acids from individuals exhibiting signs and symptoms of respiratory infection aids in the diagnosis of respiratory viral infection, if used in conjunction with other clinical and laboratory findings. || Negative results for Influenza A, Influenza B, or RSV do not preclude influenza virus or RSV infection and should not be used as the sole basis for diagnosis, treatment, or patient management decisions. Conversely, positive results do not rule-out bacterial infection or co-infection with other viruses. The agent detected may not be the definite cause of disease. The use of additional laboratory testing and clinical presentation must be considered in order to obtain the final diagnosis of respiratory viral infection. || Performance characteristics for Influenza A Virus were established when Influenza A/H3, A/H1, and 2009 H1N1 were the predominant Influenza A viruses circulating. These characteristics may vary when other Influenza A viruses are emerging. || If infection with a novel Influenza A virus is suspected based on current clinical and epidemiological screening criteria recommended by public health authorities, specimens should be collected with appropriate infection control precautions used specifically for novel virulent influenza viruses and sent to state or local health department for testing. Viral culture should not be attempted in these cases unless a BSL 3+ facility is available to receive and culture specimens.
