Overview

Respiratory Testing & Patient Specific Results

Respiratory viruses are responsible for a wide range of acute respiratory tract infections and represent a common cause of acute illness, including the common cold, influenza and croup. Disease severity can be especially high in the young, the immunocompromised, and elderly patients.¹

Increase Efficiency & Reduce Costs

Accurate and timely diagnosis of the cause of respiratory tract infections has a number of benefits for patients and their communities.

Reduces Complications

Helps reduce the potential for further development of antimicrobial resistance due to antibiotics.^1,2

Patient Care First

Potential to improve patient care and helps decrease costs.^1-2

Results with Purpose

Provides valued information to public health authorities regarding which viruses are circulating in the community.^1,3

Reduces Spread

Assists infection control personnel to provide appropriate measures to reduce nosocomial spread.^1,4
