Xpert® SA Nasal Complete

Product catalog summary
Overview: The Xpert® SA Nasal Complete is an in vitro diagnostic medical device designed for the rapid detection of Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) and Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) colonization. It provides results in about an hour, aiding in pre-operative screening and patient management to reduce post-operative surgical site infections (SSIs).
The Need: S. aureus infections pose a significant public health challenge, particularly for surgical, trauma, burn, and dialysis patients. Colonized patients are at a higher risk of developing SSIs, which can lead to increased hospital stays, costs, and mortality rates.
The Solution: The Xpert® SA Nasal Complete facilitates rapid and accurate detection of S. aureus colonization, enabling targeted infection control practices. This includes optimizing pre-admission workflows, implementing decolonization measures, and supporting infection control strategies.
Impact: Pre-surgical screening combined with decolonization can reduce post-operative infection rates by up to 60%. The device's rapid results improve patient management and hospital efficiencies, reducing the length of hospital stays associated with infections.
Performance: The Xpert® SA Nasal Complete demonstrates high sensitivity and specificity compared to traditional culture methods, with a sensitivity of 91.9% and specificity of 97.9% for S. aureus detection.
Workflow: The device features a simple three-step process with a total hands-on time of less than one minute, enhancing workflow efficiency.
Ordering Information: The product is available in a package containing 10 cartridges with reagents, catalog number GXSACOMP-CE-10.
Contact Information: Corporate headquarters are located in Sunnyvale, CA, USA, with European headquarters in Maurens-Scopont, France. Contact details include phone numbers and email addresses for further inquiries.

“Determining pre-operative carrier status of S. aureus, including MRSA, can be helpful in targeting patient treatment, including decolonization, shown to reduce post-operative SSIs. This is particularly important given the high economic burden of S. aureus infection among patients admitted for elective surgery.” Professor Jan Kluytmans, MD Professor of Medical Microbiology and Infection Control VUmc, Amsterdam Staphylococcus aureus infections are an increasingly serious public health issue. Rapid and accurate detection of colonization facilitates targeted infection control practices: Colonized...
