Multicenter Clinical Comparison of the 10-Minute AMDI Fast PCR Mini Respiratory Panel and the Cepheid Xpert Xpress CoV-2/Flu/RSV plus

RT-PCR is the gold standard to determine the etiology of respiratory tract viral infections caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), influenza A, influenza B, and respiratory syncytial virus (RSV). Multiplex testing panels can test for infections or coinfections with these viruses at the point of care. Treatment using antiviral drugs and/or monoclonal antibodies and public health measures using vaccines and specific infection prevention practices depend on accurate diagnoses.
