Respiratory tract infections caused by multiple pathogens can present overlapping signs, making it challenging to diagnose the cause without targeted, sensitive, molecular testing. In this presentation, Dr. Harita Veereshlingam, a clinical scientist at Thermo Fisher Scientific, will provide an overview of the clinical evaluation results of the TaqPath COVID-19, Flu A, Flu B, RSV Select Panel, a multiplex real-time PCR test designed for the detection and differentiation of SARS‑CoV‑2, influenza A, influenza B, and RSV A/B.
Learning Objectives:
1. Explain the clearance process for an IVD multiplex respiratory panel.
2. Identify the specifications of the IVD multiplex respiratory panel.
3. Summarize the clinical applications of TaqPath COVID-19, Flu A, Flu B, RSV Select Panel.
