Hospital ICU Algorithm CLSI Article
An algorithm is proposed whereby patients are screened with Ag Respi-Strip. Decisions concerning isolation and cohorting can be made on positive results, negative results are submitted for qPCR.
This test is CE marked and will be an excellent complement to the molecular biology screening methods currently used in hospitals. A paper covering the development and clinical performance of the Ag Respi-Strip assay has been submitted for publication.
Ag-Respi Strip is CE marked.
