Xpert® TV

Product catalog summary

Introduction
Xpert® TV is a molecular test designed for the detection of Trichomonas vaginalis (TV) in both men and women. It addresses the challenges of identifying TV infections, which are often asymptomatic and difficult to diagnose using traditional methods.

The Need
Traditional methods like wet mount microscopy and culture have limitations in sensitivity and speed, making TV detection challenging. Symptoms alone are unreliable for diagnosis, and there is a high prevalence of TV in male partners of infected women. Accurate and efficient testing is crucial for preventing reinfection and managing patient health.

The Solution
Xpert® TV offers a comprehensive solution with a cartridge-based system that includes controls for sample adequacy, processing, and reagent integrity. It provides same-day results, enabling immediate patient consultation and treatment. The test is suitable for both symptomatic and asymptomatic patients and is the first nucleic acid amplification test (NAAT) for male urine samples.

Key Features

High sensitivity (>95%) for accurate diagnosis.
On-demand testing with results available in 40-65 minutes.
Simple workflow with minimal hands-on time.
Ability to run multiple tests on the GeneXpert® System.

Impact
The Xpert® TV test enhances patient management by providing rapid and reliable results, supporting a "test and treat" approach. It helps shift laboratory workflows from reactive to proactive, improving overall service levels.

A decade ago Trichomonas vaginalis infections in men were virtually ignored. More current research has associated these infections with prostatitis and male factor infertility. In addition, trichomoniasis is emerging as a risk factor for sexual transmission of HIV. Xpert® TV provides accurate actionable results that clinicians need for optimal patient management.” David H. Persing, M.D., Ph.D. Executive Vice President, Chief Medical & Technology Officer, Cepheid Identification of Trichomonas vaginalis (TV) infections is problematic.
