VIASURE Respiratory Panel III Real Time PCR Detection Kit is designed for the specific identification and differentiation of Influenza A (Flu A), Influenza B (Flu B) and/or Human Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV); Parainfluenza 1 (PIV-1), Parainfluenza 2 (PIV-2), Parainfluenza 3 (PIV-3) and/or Parainfluenza 4 (PIV-4); human Adenovirus (AdV), Metapneumovirus (MPV) and/or Bocavirus (BoV); human rhinovirus (HRV) and/or human enterovirus (HEV); Coronavirus (CoV) 229E, NL63, OC43 and/or HKU1 strains; Chlamydophila pneumoniae, Mycoplasma pneumoniae and/or Legionella pneumophila; Haemophilus influenzae, Streptococcus pneumoniae and/or Moraxella catarrhalis in respiratory samples from patients with signs and symptoms of respiratory infection.

This test is intended to be used for research purposes, without any medical objective is not regarded as devices for performance evaluation.

RNA/DNA are extracted from clinical specimens, multiplied using Real Time amplification and detected using specific primers and a fluorescent reporter dye probe for Flu A, Flu B and RSV; Parainfluenzas viruses; AdV, MPV and BoV; HRV and HEV; CoV 229E, NL63, OC43 and HKU1 strains; C. pneumoniae, M. pneumoniae and L. pneumophila; and H. influenzae, S. pneumoniae and M. catarrahalis.
