SARS-COV-2/Influenza A+B
●SARS-CoV-2, also known as the novel coronavirus, is the virus responsible for the global COVID-19 pandemic. It is a positive-sense single-stranded RNA virus belonging to the family Coronaviridae. SARS-CoV-2 is highly contagious and primarily spreads through respiratory droplets when an infected individual coughs, sneezes, or talks. It primarily targets the human respiratory system, causing a wide range of symptoms, from mild cold-like symptoms to severe respiratory distress and multi-organ failure.
●Influenza A and B are two subtypes of the influenza virus that cause seasonal flu outbreaks worldwide. Both belong to the Orthomyxoviridae family, and their transmission occurs mainly through respiratory droplets. Influenza is characterized by symptoms such as fever, cough, sore throat, muscle aches, fatigue, and sometimes severe complications, especially in vulnerable populations.
SARS-COV-2/Influenza A+B rapid test
●The SARS-CoV-2/Influenza A+B Antigen Rapid Test Kit is designed to simultaneously detect the antigens of SARS-CoV-2 (the virus causing COVID-19) and Influenza A and B viruses in respiratory tract specimens.
●The SARS-CoV-2 & Flu A/B Rapid Antigen Test helps healthcare professionals at the point of care to quickly detect and differentiate infections with any of the three respiratory viruses and aid in pursuing appropriate courses of action, including patient management decisions. Also, it enables scaling up test capacities during flu season to meet the need for extensive testing during peak periods.
Advantages
●Simultaneous detection: The test kit allows for the simultaneous detection of SARS-CoV-2 and Influenza A+B antigens in a single test, providing comprehensive information for respiratory illness diagnosis.
●Rapid results: The test offers rapid results within a short period, enabling timely identification and management of COVID-19 and influenza virus infections.
●High sensitivity and specificity: The kit has been optimized for high accuracy and reliability, with good sensitivity and specificity for the targeted antigens.
●User-friendly and easy to use: The test kit provides clear instructions, requiring minimal training for healthcare professionals to administer the test.
●Non-invasive sample collection: The kit uses respiratory tract specimens like nasopharyngeal or nasal swabs, allowing for convenient and non-invasive sample collection.
SARS-COV-2/Influenza A+B Test Kit FAQs
Can this test differentiate between COVID-19 and influenza infections?
Yes, the SARS-CoV-2/Influenza A+B Antigen Rapid Test Kit provides separate results for SARS-CoV-2 and Influenza A+B antigens, allowing for differentiation between COVID-19 and influenza infections.
Are confirmatory tests required for positive antigen test results?
Positive antigen test results should be confirmed through additional testing, such as RT-PCR, as per the respective local guidelines and healthcare protocols.
What is the advantage of simultaneously detecting SARS-CoV-2 and Influenza A+B antigens?
Simultaneous detection of these antigens helps in distinguishing between COVID-19 and influenza-like illnesses, aiding in appropriate patient management and infection control measures.
