Respiratory Test Kit - Rapid Influenza A & B Testing Kit (CLIA Waived) 35/Box
The Respiratory Test Kit Rapid Influenza A & B Testing Kit (CLIA Waived) is a medical device used for the rapid detection of influenza A and B viruses in respiratory specimens. It is a CLIA (Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments) waived test, meaning it has been approved by the FDA for use in non-laboratory settings such as doctor's offices, urgent care centers, and pharmacies. This test kit typically uses a nasal or throat swab to collect a respiratory sample, which is then mixed with a solution and added to the test device. Within minutes, the results are displayed, indicating whether or not influenza A or B viruses are present in the sample. This test is beneficial for quickly identifying patients who may have influenza and need immediate treatment, as well as for monitoring the spread of the virus within a community.
