Influenza and Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) are two of the most common and highly contagious respiratory viruses, particularly dangerous for vulnerable populations such as infants, young children, older adults, and individuals with weakened immune systems. Influenza, also known as the flu, can cause a range of symptoms, from mild cough and fever to severe respiratory distress, and in some cases, can lead to complications like pneumonia or bronchitis. The flu is highly contagious, spreading rapidly in communities, especially during peak flu seasons.

Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), though often less discussed, is also a major threat, especially in children under the age of 2 and elderly individuals. RSV primarily affects the lungs and respiratory tract, leading to illnesses like bronchiolitis and pneumonia. It is one of the leading causes of hospitalization among young children due to its ability to cause severe respiratory distress. Unlike the flu, RSV infections tend to peak in the winter months but can occur at any time of the year.

The RSV & Flu A/B Rapid Antigen Test is designed to quickly detect the presence of these two viral infections, providing valuable diagnostic information within a short time frame. Using a simple and reliable chromatographic method, the test identifies viral antigens from nasopharyngeal and oropharyngeal swab specimens, offering a non-invasive, fast, and accurate diagnosis. This rapid antigen test can detect the presence of RSV and both strains of Influenza (A and B) from a single sample, providing clinicians with important diagnostic insights and helping them make timely decisions regarding patient care.

The test results are available in just 10-15 minutes, making it ideal for use in emergency rooms, clinics, and other healthcare settings where rapid diagnosis is essential. If the test is positive, treatment can begin immediately, helping reduce the spread of infection and allowing for better patient outcomes. In addition to its speed, the test offers high sensitivity, ensuring reliable results that can assist healthcare providers in diagnosing and treating patients effectively.
