MORE RESULTS, FASTER

1 SAMPLE, 1 TEST, 20 RESULTS

The Respiratory panel tests for a comprehensive set of 20 upper respiratory, viral and bacterial pathogens, many of which present with nearly indistinguishable symptoms. The rapid and accurate identification of the causative agent assists the healthcare provider in selecting the most efficacious treatment for an upper respiratory tract infection.

The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) states that viral infections are a major cause of hospitalizations in young children and the elderly, and represent the seventh leading cause of death in the United States​

• From influenza alone, each year, over 200,000 Americans are hospitalized and 36,000 of them die from their infection.

• A New England Journal of Medicine study of children with influenza showed that only 28% of hospitalized and 17% of outpatient children were accurately diagnosed by their physician, echoing the need for rapid influenza testing.
