## Indications for use
The QIAstat-Dx Respiratory Panel is a multiplexed nucleic acid test intended for use with QIAstat-Dx system for the simultaneous qualitative detection and identification of multiple respiratory viral and bacterial nucleic acids in nasopharyngeal swabs (NPS) eluted in Universal Transport Media (UTM) obtained from individuals suspected of respiratory tract infections. The following organism types and subtypes are identified using the QIAstat-Dx Respiratory Panel: Adenovirus, Coronavirus 229E, Coronavirus HKU1, Coronavirus NL63, Coronavirus OC43, Human Metapneumovirus A+B, Influenza A, Influenza A H1, Influenza A H3, Influenza A H1N1/pdm09, Influenza B, Parainfluenza Virus 1, Parainfluenza Virus 2, Parainfluenza Virus 3, Parainfluenza Virus 4, Rhinovirus/Enterovirus, Respiratory Syncytial Virus A+B, Bordetella pertussis, Chlamydophila pneumoniae and Mycoplasma pneumoniae. The detection and identification of specific viral and bacterial nucleic acids from individuals presenting with signs and symptoms of a respiratory infection aids in the diagnosis of respiratory infection if used in conjunction with other clinical and epidemiological information. The results of this test should not be used as the sole basis for diagnosis, treatment or other management decisions. Negative results in the setting of a respiratory illness may be due to infection with pathogens that are not detected by the test or lower respiratory tract infection that is not detected by a nasopharyngeal swab specimen. Positive results do not rule out co-infection with other organisms: the agent(s) detected by the QIAstat-Dx Respiratory Panel may not be the definite cause of disease. Additional laboratory testing (e.g., bacterial and viral culture, immunofluorescence and radiography) may be necessary when evaluating a patient with possible respiratory tract infection. Due to the small number of positive specimens collected for certain organisms during the prospective clinical study, performance characteristics for Bordetella pertussis and Parainfluenza Virus 1 were established primarily with retrospective clinical specimens. Performance characteristics for Chlamydophila pneumoniae, Parainfluenza Virus 2, Parainfluenza Virus 4, Influenza A subtype H1 and Coronavirus 229E were established primarily using contrived clinical specimens. Due to the genetic similarity between Human Rhinovirus and Enterovirus, the QIAstat-Dx Respiratory Panel cannot reliably differentiate them. A positive QIAstat-Dx Respiratory Panel Rhinovirus/Enterovirus result should be followed-up using an alternate method (e.g., cell culture or sequence analysis). Performance characteristics for Influenza A were established when Influenza A H1N1-2009 and A H3 were the predominant Influenza A viruses in circulation. Performance of detecting Influenza A may vary if other Influenza A strains are circulating or a novel Influenza A virus emerges. 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 departments for testing. Viral culture should not be attempted in these cases unless a BSL 3+ facility is available to receive and culture specimens.
