Study Overview
Brief Summary
This is a open label, prospective, pair comparison, randomised, multi-centre trial. The primary aim of this study to is to clinically validate the sensitivity and specificity of the Respirio Flu Test (RFT) in detecting Influenza A as compared with (a) the best available rapid Influenza A test in the market Quidel QuickVue (QQV) and (b) the gold standard for identifying Influenza A infection Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR).
The secondary aim is to clinically validate the sensitivity and specificity of the Respirio Flu Test (RFT) in detecting Influenza B as compared to QQV and PCR.
