Xpert - Model C. difficile - Test Reagent Kit
Today’s testing methodologies have forced clinicians to choose between solutions that deliver either speed or accuracy. Cepheid’s Xpert® C. difficile delivers both in just 40 minutes: Superior test accuracy eliminates the need for additional or repeat testing; Testing of all suspected CDI cases directly with PCR is cost effective2; Rapid identification of infected patient helps infection control efforts; Timely reporting enables clinicians to administer appropriate therapy thereby improving patient management. Cepheid’s Xpert C. difficile test provides on-demand results you can trust and empowers your clinical team to better manage patients.

- Additional length of stay increase caused by C. difficile infection is 5.6 days1
- Incremental costs due to C. difficile infection can be as high as $7,1791 per patient
- Testing of all suspected CDI cases directly with PCR is cost effective2
