Rapid Tests provide your complete Winter Care Bundle
Dec 06 2013
Cepheid’s Winter Care Bundle – comprising of the Xpert® Flu, Xpert SA Nasal Complete, Xpert C. difficile and Xpert Norovirus rapid tests for the GeneXpert® System – is an essential tool kit in the battle against virulent infections, helping to reduce the potential for preventable ward closures and avert a winter care crisis. Molecular diagnostic testing with Cepheid’s GeneXpert System provides rapid, accurate diagnosis of these infections, minimising the impact on hospital resources by enabling immediate implementation of infection control procedures and initiation of appropriate treatment. This helps to prevent the spread of disease and improve patient management, as well as antibiotic and antiviral stewardships.
On-demand testing with Cepheid’s Winter Care Bundle of RT-PCR tests can help relieve the burden of C. difficile, S. aureus, Norovirus and influenza outbreaks. Xpert C. difficile is the only rapid test to identify toxin B, binary toxin and tcdC deletion in just 45 minutes and, in as little as 90 minutes, Xpert Norovirus can efficiently identify and differentiate between norovirus GI and GII. S. aureus and MRSA colonisation can also be detected in about an hour with Xpert SA Nasal Complete, helping to optimise pre-admission workflows and reduce post-operative infections. Xpert Flu, a simple, accessible molecular diagnostic test capable of providing on-demand results in just over an hour, completes the Winter Care Bundle, enabling real-time determination of Flu A and Flu B infection.
