Ellume·Lab Flu A+B Test and the Ellume Home Flu Test Performance Versus Viral Culture and Reverse Transcriptase Polymerase Chain Reaction

Not Applicable
Completed
Conditions
Influenza
Registration Number
NCT03595358
Lead Sponsor
Ellume Pty Ltd
Brief Summary

The primary purpose of the study is to validate the sensitivity and specificity of the Ellume Home Flu Test and the ellume.lab Flu A+B Test in detecting influenza A and influenza B as compared to reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR)

Secondary aims are to:

Validate the sensitivity and specificity of the Ellume Home Flu Test and the ellume.lab Flu A+B Test in detecting influenza A and influenza B as compared to viral culture; Evaluate the participant's satisfaction with the convenience and ease of use of the Ellume Home Flu Test; Evaluate the participant's interpretation of the Ellume Home Flu Test results compared to the interpretation by site staff; Evaluate the operator's satisfaction and ease of use of the ellume·lab Flu A+B Test.
