Details

MiRXES Fortitude 4.0 is a real-time RT-PCR intended for the qualitative detection of nucleic acid from SARS-CoV-2 in nasopharyngeal or oropharyngeal swabs, nasopharyngeal wash/aspirate, nasal wash/aspirate and anterior/mid-turbinate nasal swabs samples from patients suspected of COVID-19 by a healthcare provider.

The RNA from SARS-CoV-2 is generally detectable in upper respiratory during the acute phase of infection. Positive results are indicative of the presence of SARS-CoV-2; clinical correlation with patient history and other diagnostic information is necessary to determine patient infection status. Positive results do not rule out bacterial infection or co-infection with other viruses. The agent detected may not be the definite cause of disease.

Negative results do not preclude SARS-CoV-2 infection and should not be used as the sole basis for patient management decisions. Negative results must be combined with clinical observations, patient history, and epidemiological information.

Regulatory Status

MiRXES Fortitude 4.0 has received CE Mark and is intended for use by qualified and trained clinical laboratory personnel specifically instructed and trained in the techniques of real-time PCR and in vitro diagnostic procedures.
