Helping you transform what's possible with respiratory testing
Roche Respiratory Solutions can assist experts in diagnosing, correctly treating, and discharging patients faster, potentially easing the burden on healthcare professionals and helping to reduce winter pressures.
Rapid respiratory test results help empower clinicians to deliver treatment at the earliest possible stage – potentially reducing the risk of escalation and improving patient outcomes.
The Roche solution includes tests, technologies and transformation support for introducing rapid respiratory testing into any clinical setting - bringing care closer to the patient.
Enhancing care across all pathways
Our respiratory solutions are proven to deliver accurate diagnostics where they are needed most; in the community, in clinics, in hospitals, and helping to protect high-risk patients.
Respiratory Testing in Primary Care
Quick, targeted near-patient respiratory testing in the community, clinics and point of entry.
The primary care setting plays a critical role in the diagnosis and management of respiratory infections, with respiratory symptoms being the most common reason for primary care consultations.1

Benefits of rapid respiratory testing in primary care
For a new testing pathway to be adopted at local, regional or national level, it will have to show benefits for the patient, the clinical team and the healthcare system. Rapid respiratory point of care testing in primary care may help to improve diagnosis, clinician confidence, and patient satisfaction.
Rapid diagnosis and treatment
The availability of rapid diagnostic results may increase clinicians' confidence in the diagnosis and enable them to offer appropriate advice, guidance, and treatment at the right time and place.3,4,7
Clinical decision support
Empowering doctors with on-the-spot insights to differentiate bacterial from viral infections may help improve prescribing accuracy and thereby reduce inappropriate antibiotic prescribing.4,5
Fewer secondary care referals
Point of Care testing may help reduce unnecessary referrals, potentially streamlining patient management, alleviating pressure on secondary care and improving patient satisfaction.6,8
Potential cost-saving efficiencies
Appropriate use of Point of Care testing facilitates early diagnosis and treatment that may lead to better outcomes, thereby reducing need for secondary care and helping reduce overall cost of care.6,7
Developing rapid respiratory testing for primary care settings
Access to diagnostics in the community can be powerful. We know that getting a diagnosis quickly can help patients receive effective treatment, but this doesn’t always happen.
Roche has been involved in several pilots to assess the impact of rapid respiratorytesting for primary care settings, bringing testing closer to patients.
Flu Test & Treat Community Pathway
Explore how a flu patient community pathway pilot in Yorkshire and the North West achieved significant results with point-of-care testing. This infographic highlights the project's key outcomes, including estimated reductions in hospital admissions and ICU stays. Download the infographic to learn more about the initiative's impact on healthcare practices.
Acute Respiratory Hub Pathway Evaluation
Discover the benefits of integrating rapid point of care tests in Acute Respiratory Infection (ARI) hubs. Our infographic provides valuable insights on how diagnostic results influence prescribing decisions and patient management, based on a pilot evaluation conducted in partnership with Copeland Primary Care Network. Download the infographic to learn more.
A Rapid Flu Test-And-Treat Community Pathway
A rapid ‘test and treat’ influenza (flu) community pathway incorporating a rapid diagnostic point of care test (POCT) was found to enhance clinical decision-making and thus reduce unnecessary antibiotic use and enable timely antiviral treatment to decrease the impact of infectious diseases and antimicrobial resistance.

ePlex® system
The ePlex system is used to run multiplex microarray-based assays developed by GenMark. This type of assay is based on the principles of competitive nucleic acid hybridization using a sandwich assay format, wherein a single-stranded target binds concurrently to a sequence-specific solution-phase signal probe and a solid-phase electrode-bound capture probe. The test employs nucleic acid extraction, target amplification via polymerase chain reaction (PCR) or reverse transcription PCR (RT-PCR) and hybridization of target DNA. In the process, the double-stranded PCR amplicons are digested with exonuclease to generate single-stranded DNA suitable for hybridization.
