Detection and identification of DNA and RNA from multiple bacteria, parasites and/or virus in approximately 74 minutes
A necessidade
Burden – Acute gastroenteritis remains a major cause of morbidity, mortality, and healthcare visits1
Clinical Presentation – bacterial, viral, and parasitic pathogens may cause similar symptoms leading to difficulty distinguishing between infectious etiologies based on the clinical presentation alone1
Diagnosis - Conventional methods for the identification of gastrointestinal pathogens are time-consuming, expensive, and have limited sensitivity2

A solução
Fast and accurate detection of GI pathogens is important so that appropriate therapy can be initiated and proper infection control and epidemiologic measures can be taken to help reduce or prevent the spread of disease1
Standardized, streamlined workflow: The Xpert® GI Panel is clinically tailored to identify common pathogens responsible for causing suspected gastrointestinal infections3.4 with quick actionable, accurate results within 74 minutes
