  • Title: Comparison of the Simplexa FluA/B & RSV direct assay and laboratory-developed real-time PCR assays for detection of respiratory virus.
    Author: Woodberry MW, Shankar R, Cent A, Jerome KR, Kuypers J.
    Journal: J Clin Microbiol; 2013 Nov; 51(11):3883-5. PubMed ID: 24048529.
    Abstract:
    The results of the Focus Simplexa FluA/B & RSV Direct assay were compared to those of laboratory-developed reverse transcription PCR tests for 498 nasopharyngeal swabs. Concordance rates were 96.6% (476/493; κ = 0.91), 97.6% (481/493; κ = 0.47), and 99.2% (488/492; κ = 0.94) for influenza A, influenza B, and respiratory syncytial virus, respectively.
