Clinically actionable respiratory testing across the continuum of care

Respiratory solutions

Roche PCR respiratory solutions deliver timely, high-quality insights for confident decision-making in every setting and situation.

 

In the face of complex and ever-evolving respiratory challenges, you need diagnostic solutions that offer both precision and flexibility.

It’s now possible to offer polymerase chain reaction (PCR)  - or lab quality respiratory testing - for patients in all settings.  This can include urgent care clinics, doctor’s offices, emergency departments, hospital labs and more.  And it’s possible to partner with just one manufacturer to ensure the availability of high-quality testing in each of those settings and for the unique situations and preferences of your providers and their patients.

cobas® Respiratory flex for use on the cobas® 5800/6800/8800 Systems (cobas® Respiratory flex) is an automated, multiplex, nucleic acid test that utilizes real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) technology for simultaneous in vitro qualitative detection and differentiation of adenovirus (species B, C and E), common human coronaviruses (229E, HKU1, NL63, OC43), human metapneumovirus, human rhinovirus/enterovirus, influenza A virus, influenza B virus, parainfluenza viruses 1, 2, 3, and 4, respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), and SARS-CoV-2 in nasopharyngeal swab specimens obtained from individuals with signs and symptoms of respiratory tract infections in conjunction with clinical and epidemiological risk factors. The detection and identification of specific viral nucleic acids from individuals presenting with signs and symptoms of a respiratory infection aids in the diagnosis of respiratory infection if used in conjunction with other clinical and epidemiological information. Negative results do not preclude a respiratory infection and should not be used as the sole basis for treatment or other patient management decisions. Conversely, positive results do not rule out coinfection with other organisms, and the agent detected may not be the definite cause of disease. Due to the genetic similarity between human rhinovirus and enterovirus, the cobas® Respiratory flex test cannot reliably differentiate them.
