Three critical targets
COVID-19 and flu are highly contagious respiratory illnesses. The Visby Medical Respiratory Health Test can differentiate between the causative viruses and give answers to help guide providers toward the most effective treatments.
Flu A
According to the CDC, molecular assays, including RT-PCR, are recommended for testing respiratory tract specimens from hospitalized patients because of their high sensitivity and high specificity.
Flu B
The Infectious Diseases Society of America (IDSA) recommends use of rapid influenza molecular assays over rapid influenza diagnostic tests (RIDTs) for detection of influenza viruses in respiratory specimens of outpatients.
COVID-19
The current gold standard is to perform reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction (PCR) on nasopharyngeal samples. Best-in-class assays demonstrate a limit of detection (LoD) of approximately 100 copies of viral RNA per milliliter of transport media.
Scale
as surges happen
The instrument free Visby Medical Respiratory Health Test allows testing for COVID-19 and flu where it’s most effective, at the point of care.
How to use the Visby Medical Respiratory Health Test
Less than 15 seconds of hands-on time. Results in under 30 minutes.
