Operon - Simple/Stick Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) Rapid Test Kit
One-step immunochromatographic test for the qualitative detection of Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) from samples such as nasal swabs, nasopharyngeal washes or aspirates. Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) is the leading cause of emergency rooms visits and hospitalisations for acute lower respiratory tract infections in infants and young children worldwide. RSV can also become a serious problem in the elderly, adults with heart and lung diseases, or anyone with a very weak immune system (immunocompromised).
In addition, RSV has became one of the main causes of nosocomial infection.
The RSV immunoassay from OPERON is a rapid and easy test for the qualitative detection of the Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) fusion protein antigen in nasal and nasopharyngeal swab samples, as well as in samples of nasopharyngeal washes and aspirates.
This test is specially indicated for neonatal and paediatric patients under the age of 5 years.
A positive sign in the test band provides a good indication that we may be dealing with an infection caused by RSV.
Early detection of RSV allows the optimal management of the pacient, reduces healthcare costs and contribute to control its spread.
