Xpert® Carba-R

Product catalog summary
Introduction
Xpert® Carba-R is an in vitro diagnostic medical device designed for the rapid detection and differentiation of carbapenemase-producing microorganisms. It targets five major resistance gene families: KPC, NDM, VIM, IMP-1, and OXA-48, providing results in less than an hour.

The Need
The global spread of carbapenemase-producing organisms (CPO) poses a significant challenge to healthcare systems due to their resistance to most antibiotics. Traditional testing methods are slow, taking up to 72 hours, which delays infection control measures. A rapid, accurate, and easy-to-use molecular test is essential for effective infection control.

The Solution
Xpert® Carba-R offers rapid detection and differentiation of carbapenemase genes in 48 minutes. It aids in optimizing patient management and designing effective infection control measures. The test is particularly useful for active surveillance of high-risk patients and those transferred between healthcare facilities.

Impact on Patient Pathway
The device significantly reduces the time to obtain results compared to traditional methods, allowing for quicker implementation of infection control strategies. It enhances the ability to manage patient pathways effectively by providing actionable information to prevent outbreaks.

Workflow
The test involves three simple steps: inserting the swab into a sample reagent vial, transferring the sample to a cartridge, and starting the test. The total hands-on time is less than one minute.

Performance
Xpert® Carba-R demonstrates high positive and negative percent agreement for the detection of KPC, NDM, OXA-48, VIM, and IMP genes, ensuring reliable results.

Conclusion
Xpert® Carba-R is a critical tool for rapid and accurate detection of multidrug-resistant organisms, aiding in the prevention of outbreaks and improving infection control measures.
