THE SIMPLEXA COVID-19 / FLU A/B & RSV DIRECT KIT:
is a sample-to-answer test for the detection of SARS-CoV-2, Flu A, Flu B and RSV directly from nasopharyngeal and nasal swabs;
runs on the LIAISON MDX system using the Direct Amplification Disc (DAD), enabling rapid detection in approximately 45 minutes;
has broad coverage for influenza strains, emerging SARS-CoV-2 variants and detection of both RSV subgroups A and B;
will complement Diasorin existing LIAISON MDX respiratory portfolio by addressing the market's evolving demand, shifting from COVID-19 testing only to COVID-19/Flu A/B & RSV testing.
Designed for use on the LIAISON MDX system, the assay is suitable for both hospital and commercial laboratories, enabling timely and highly accurate differential diagnosis of the 4 primary respiratory viruses circulating during the winter season. Following the COVID-19 pandemic, a resurgence of both influenza virus and RSV, particularly evident since the 2022/2023 season, has underscored the need to detect these pathogens, along with SARS-CoV-2, during peak infection periods. The Simplexa COVID-19 / Flu A/B & RSV Direct kit addresses this need by providing a streamlined solution that delivers accurate and simultaneous detection in a single assay.
The rapid differential detection of four targets in approximately 45 minutes reflects a significant advancement in Simplexa technology on the LIAISON MDX platform, that achieves increased multiplexing capabilities and enhanced speed.
This comprehensive approach enhances the accuracy of respiratory illness diagnosis, which is critical for effective therapeutic management and infection control, especially when clinical presentations alone can be ambiguous. By providing a clearer and more complete understanding of a patient's condition, the test enables healthcare providers to tailor treatment plans more effectively, leading to improved patient outcomes and minimizing unnecessary treatments, making this the test of choice for the respiratory season.
