Alere i Influenza A & B

Product catalog summary
Introduction
The document discusses the Alere™ i Influenza A & B Molecular test, emphasizing its rapid and accurate results, which can optimize patient care by providing timely information for clinical decisions.

Need for Rapid Diagnostic Tests
Clinicians often rely on signs and symptoms due to limited access to rapid diagnostic tests, which can lead to inaccurate treatment decisions. Clinical judgment alone has low sensitivity rates (29%-36%). Rapid tests like Alere™ i are necessary for better management.

Features of Alere™ i
  • Results in less than 15 minutes.
  • Lab-accurate results.
  • Easy-to-use system.

Benefits
  • Optimized Infection Control: Enables prompt infection control and reduces transmission risk.
  • Operational/Cost Efficiencies: Reduces the need for additional tests and speeds up patient discharge.
  • Antimicrobial Stewardship: Decreases unnecessary antibiotic use.
  • Timely and Targeted Treatment: Allows for effective antiviral therapy closer to symptom onset.

Product Specifications
  • Sample Types: Nasal Swab Direct or in Viral Transport Media (VTM), Nasopharyngeal Swab in VTM.
  • Time to Result: Less than 15 minutes.
  • Performance: High Positive Percentage Agreement (PPA) and Negative Percentage Agreement (NPA) for both Flu A and Flu B.

Conclusion
The Alere™ i Influenza A & B test provides rapid, accurate results that support better clinical decision-making and patient management. For more information, visit TestTargetTreat.com.

Alere i Influenza A & B-1

Alere i Influenza A & B Molecular. In minutes. ™ How could a rapid molecular result optimize patient care in your department? Clinicians often have to make immediate treatment decisions based only on signs and symptoms due to poor access to sensitive, rapid diagnostic tests and long turnaround times for laboratory PCR results. However, evidence suggests that clinical judgement alone has sensitivity rates between 29%1 and 36%.2 New highly sensitive rapid diagnostic tests for influenza are needed to help guide management in the clinical setting.1 Alere™ i combines the benefits of speed and accuracy on an easy to use system. You no longer need to compromise when testing your patients and making clinical decisions. n Lab-accurate results A rapid and accurate influenza result enables: Timely and targeted treatment Timely, targeted antiviral therapy is most effective closer to symptom onset.2 Antimicrobial Stewardship Operational/ Cost Efficiencies Improve antimicrobial stewardship by decreasing unnecessary antibiotic use.3,4 Boost operational/cost efficiency with fewer tests/investigations and faster time to discharge.5 Optimized Infection Control Optimize prompt infection control and reduce risk of onward transmissi
