Evaluation of Cepheid Xpert Xpress CoV-2/Flu/RSV plus for nasal and nasopharyngeal specimens tested in CLIA-accredited and CLIA-waived settings
Background
Respiratory viruses are responsible for millions of healthcare visits annually. The unpredictable periodicity of Coronavirus disease 2019 and seasonal patterns of influenza and respiratory syncytial virus result in concurrent circulation of these viruses with non-specific and overlapping clinical symptoms.
Study design
This study evaluated the Cepheid Xpert Xpress CoV-2/Flu/RSV plus test using 3011 nasopharyngeal swab (NPS) and 2943 anterior nasal (NS) specimens. The assay was evaluated in CLIA-accredited (CA) laboratories with laboratory trained operators and CLIA-waived (CW) settings with non-laboratory personnel. Results were compared to the BioFire Respiratory Panel 2.1 for SARS-CoV-2 and Hologic Panther Fusion Flu A/B/RSV for influenza A, influenza B, and RSV. Cepheid Xpert Xpress CoV-2/Flu/RSV plus testing of NPS and NS specimens had high positive and negative agreement with reference testing.
Results
Overall agreement for NPS was 98.8 %, 99.1 %, 99.9 %, and 100 % for SARS-CoV-2, influenza A, influenza B, and RSV, respectively. For NS, overall agreement was 98.7 %, 99.3 %, 99.9 %, and 99.9 % for SARS-CoV-2, influenza A, influenza B, and RSV, respectively. Specimen testing performed at CA and CW locations also had high positive and negative agreement with reference testing. Overall agreement for CA testing was 97.7 %, 99.6 %, 100 %, and 100 % for SARS-CoV-2, influenza A, influenza B, and RSV, respectively. For CW testing, overall agreement was 98.8 %, 99.0 %, 99.9 %, and 99.9 % for SARS-CoV-2, influenza A, influenza B, and RSV, respectively.
Conclusions
This study demonstrates that Xpert Xpress CoV-2/Flu/RSV plus provides rapid and accurate results from NPS and NS specimens in CA and CW testing facilities regardless of staff experience with molecular testing.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Clinical Virology, an esteemed international publication, serves as the official journal for both the Pan American Society for Clinical Virology and The European Society for Clinical Virology. Dedicated to advancing the understanding of human virology in clinical settings, the Journal of Clinical Virology focuses on disseminating research papers and reviews pertaining to the clinical aspects of virology. Its scope encompasses articles discussing diagnostic methodologies and virus-induced clinical conditions, with an emphasis on practicality and relevance to clinical practice.
The journal publishes on topics that include:
• new diagnostic technologies
• nucleic acid amplification and serologic testing
• targeted and metagenomic next-generation sequencing
• emerging pandemic viral threats
• respiratory viruses
• transplant viruses
• chronic viral infections
• cancer-associated viruses
• gastrointestinal viruses
• central nervous system viruses
• one health (excludes animal health)
