The Xpert Xpress CoV-2/Flu/RSV plus test, performed on the GeneXpert Dx and GeneXpert Infinity Systems, is an automated multiplexed real-time reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) test intended for use in the simultaneous in vitro qualitative detection and differentiation of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2), influenza A, influenza B, and/or respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) viral RNA in nasopharyngeal swab and anterior nasal swab specimens collected from individuals with signs and symptoms of respiratory tract infection. Clinical signs and symptoms of respiratory tract infection due to SARS-CoV-2, influenza A, influenza B, and RSV can be similar.
The Xpert Xpress CoV-2/Flu/RSV plus test is intended for use in the differential detection of SARS-CoV-2, influenza A, influenza B and/or RSV RNA and aids in the diagnosis of COVID-19, influenza and/or RSV infections if used in conjunction with other clinical and epidemiological information, and laboratory findings. SARS-CoV-2, influenza A, influenza B, and RSV viral RNA are generally detectable in nasopharyngeal swab and anterior nasal swab specimens during the acute phase of infection.
Positive results are indicative of the presence of the identified virus, but do not rule out bacterial infection or co-infection with other pathogens not detected by the test. The agent (s) detected by the Xpert Xpress CoV-2/Flu/RSV plus test may not be the definite cause of the disease.
Negative results do not preclude SARS-CoV-2, influenza A, influenza B and/or RSV infection. The results of this test should not be used as the sole basis for diagnosis, treatment or other patient management decisions.
Indications for use as stated in the FDA summary.
