FDA has cleared a Cepheid 510(k) for the Xpert Xpress Flu/RSV test, which can be performed in near-patient settings, providing rapid molecular detection of influenza A and B viruses, and respiratory syncytial virus from patient specimens within 20 minutes. In addition to nasopharyngeal swab specimens, the test is indicated for use with nasal swabs. The device utilizes automated real-time reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction to detect the viruses, according to the company.
