An RSV test cassette is used to quickly and accurately diagnose respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) infection. RSV is a common virus that causes respiratory tract infections, particularly in young children and older adults.
Key uses of an RSV test cassette include:
- Rapid Diagnosis: Provides results quickly, often within minutes, to help healthcare providers make timely decisions.
- Specimen Types: Typically uses nasal or nasopharyngeal swabs as specimens.
- Infection Control: Helps in managing and controlling the spread of RSV in healthcare settings and communities.
- Differential Diagnosis: Assists in distinguishing RSV from other respiratory illnesses with similar symptoms.
The test is primarily used in clinical settings to aid in the appropriate management and treatment of patients suspected of having an RSV infection.

What is CLIA Waived RSV Test Cassettes
CLIA-waived RSV test cassettes are diagnostic tests that are approved under the Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments (CLIA) for use in non-laboratory settings due to their simplicity and low risk of error. These tests are used to detect respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) quickly and accurately.
Key points about CLIA-waived RSV test cassettes:
- Ease of Use: Designed to be simple enough for use in various healthcare settings, such as doctor's offices, urgent care centers, and clinics.
- Rapid Results: Provide quick results, usually within minutes, allowing for timely decision-making.
- Minimal Training Required: Intended to be used by healthcare professionals without extensive laboratory training.
- Accessibility: Expands testing access beyond conventional laboratory environments, facilitating prompt diagnosis and management of RSV.
- Regulatory Compliance: Meets specific criteria set by CLIA to ensure reliable and accurate results despite being conducted in non-laboratory environments.
These test cassettes help healthcare providers rapidly identify RSV infections, improving patient care and infection control.
WASHING INSTRUCTIONS:
Machine wash separately in cold water on a gentle cycle. Tumble dry separately on low heat. Add QE Home Wool Dryer Balls to reduce wrinkles and increases drying efficiency. Touch up with a low heat iron as needed. Do not bleach or dry clean.
