## Indications for use
The Panther Fusion" AdV/hMPV/RV assay is a multiplex real-time PCR (RT-PCR) in vitro diagnostic test for the rapid and qualitative detection and differentiation of Adenovirus (AdV), human Metapneumovirus (hMPV), and Rhinovirus (RV). Nucleic acids are isolated and purified from nasopharyngeal (NP) swab specimens obtained from individuals exhibiting signs and symptoms of a respiratory tract infection. This assay is intended to aid in the differential diagnosis of Adenovirus, human Metapneumovirus, and Rhinovirus infections in humans. Negative results do not preclude Adenovirus, human Metapneumovirus, and Rhinovirus infections and should not be used as the sole basis for treatment or other management decisions. This assay is designed for use on the Panther Fusion system.
