Xpert® MRSA NxG

Product catalog summary
Introduction
Xpert® MRSA NxG is an in vitro diagnostic medical device designed for the rapid and accurate detection of MRSA directly from nasal swabs using PCR technology. This test is crucial for controlling MRSA in healthcare settings by identifying colonized patients quickly.
The Need
MRSA infections are a significant concern in healthcare, with approximately 171,200 cases annually in the EU, leading to 5,400 deaths and substantial economic costs. The average hospital stay for MRSA patients is 11.5 days, costing €7,478 per patient.
The Solution
Xpert® MRSA NxG offers a rapid, on-demand PCR test that enhances infection control programs, guides decolonization practices, and improves patient management. It targets specific genetic markers for accurate detection and supports antibiotic stewardship by reducing unnecessary treatments.
Implementation and Results
Using the GeneXpert® System for rapid MRSA screening can significantly reduce infection rates and hospital costs. A German study reported a 50% decrease in infection rates and a 58% reduction in costs, saving an average of €408,894 annually.
Impact
The comprehensive approach to MRSA infection control includes nasal screening, blood culture testing, and testing of abscesses and wounds. The workflow involves three simple steps with less than one minute of hands-on time, providing results in about 70 minutes.
Catalog Information
The document lists various test kits available for purchase, including Xpert MRSA NxG and Xpert SA Nasal Complete, with options for 10 or 120 tests per kit.
