The Cepheid Xpert Norovirus Assay, performed on the GeneXpert® Instrument Systems, is a qualitative in vitro diagnostic test for the identification and differentiation of norovirus genogroup I and genogroup II RNA from raw or unpreserved unformed stool specimens collected from individuals with symptoms of acute gastroenteritis. The test utilizes automated real-time reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) to detect norovirus RNA. The Xpert Norovirus Assay is intended to aid in the diagnosis of norovirus infections when used in conjunction with clinical evaluation, laboratory findings, and epidemiological information. The assay also aids in the detection and identification of norovirus infections in the context of outbreaks.
