Read the full statement (258 words)

The cobas Influenza A/B & RSV Nucleic acid test for use on the cobas Liat System (cobas Influenza A/B & RSV) is an

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

virus, Influenza B virus and respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) 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, Influenza B, and RSV in humans and is not intended

to detect Influenza C.

Negative results do not preclude Influenza virus or RSV 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 during the 2013-2014 and the 2014-2015 Influenza seasons

when Influenza A/H3 and A/HIN1 pandemic 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 BSL3+ 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.
