ID NOW Influenza A/B 2.0 24 Test Kit / ID NOW Instrument

The Alere™ i Influenza A & B 2 assay performed on the Alere™ I Instrument is a rapid molecular in vitro diagnostic test utilizing an isothermal nucleic acid amplification technology for the qualitative detection and discrimination of influenza A and B viral RNA in direct nasal or nasopharyngeal swabs and nasal or nasopharyngeal swabs eluted in viral transport media from patients with signs and symptoms of respiratory infection. It is intended for use as an aid in the differential diagnosis of influenza A and B viral infections in humans in conjunction with clinical and epidemiological risk factors. The assay is not intended to detect the presence of influenza C virus. The intended users of the Alere™ i Influenza A & B 2 are healthcare professionals, specifically laboratory technicians, nurses, and physicians.

The Alere™ i Instrument is a fluorescence-based instrument for the processing and analysis of Alere™ I tests, which utilizes isothermal nucleic acid technology for the qualitative detection of a range of infectous diseases. It is intended to aid in the diagnosis of these diseases. The intended users of the Alere™ i Instrument are healthcare professionals, specifically laboratory technicians, nurses, and physicians.
