Abstract

The Xpert Flu/RSV XC assay was compared to laboratory-developed tests (LDTs) (n=207) and the Xpert Flu assay (n=147) using archived nasopharyngeal swabs. The percentages of positive agreements with LDTs were 97.8% for influenza A, 97.2% for influenza B, and 89.3% for RSV. The sensitivity of influenza detection was improved with the Xpert Flu/RSV XC assay compared to the Xpert Flu assay.
