Read the full statement (233 words)

The IQuum LiatTM Influenza A/B Assay performed on the LiatTM Analyzer is an automated

multiplex real-time RT-PCR assay for the rapid in vitro qualitative detection and discrimination

of influenza A virus and influenza B virus RNA in nasopharyngeal swab specimens from

patients with signs and symptoms of respiratory infection in conjunction with clinical and

epidemiological risk factors. The test is intended for use as an aid in the differential diagnosis of

influenza A and influenza B in humans and is not intended to detect influenza C.

Negative results do not preclude influenza virus infection and should not be used as the sole

basis for treatment or other 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.

Performance characteristics for influenza A were established when influenza A/H1 and A/H3

were the predominant influenza A viruses in circulation. When other influenza A viruses are

emerging, performance characteristics may vary.

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 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.

Indications for use read by OCR from a scanned FDA summary, so letters may be misread. Check the PDF before quoting it.
