## Indications for use
The Prodesse® ProParaflu®+ Assay is a multiplex Real-Time PCR (RT-PCR) in vitro diagnostic test for the qualitative detection and discrimination of Parainfluenza 1 Virus, Parainfluenza 2 Virus and Parainfluenza 3 Virus (HPIV-1, HPIV-2 and HPIV-3) nucleic acids isolated and purified from nasopharyngeal (NP) swab specimens obtained from individuals exhibiting signs and symptoms of respiratory tract infections. This Assay targets the conserved regions of the Hemagglutinin-Neuraminidase (HN) gene of HPIV-1, HPIV-2 and HPIV-3, respectively. The detection and discrimination of HPIV-1, HPIV-2 and HPIV-3 nucleic acids from symptomatic patients aid in the diagnosis of human respiratory tract parainfluenza infections if used in conjunction with other clinical and laboratory findings. This test is not intended to detect Parainfluenza 4a or Parainfluenza 4b Viruses. Negative test results are presumptive and should be confirmed by cell culture. Negative results do not preclude Parainfluenza 1, 2 or 3 virus infections and should not be used as the sole basis for treatment or other management decisions.
