Delivering lab-quality results at the point of care

The cobas® SARS-CoV-2 & Influenza A/B assay uses Nobel Prize-winning PCR technology to detect and differentiate SARS-CoV-2, influenza A and influenza B, from a single patient sample in just 20 minutes.

The cobas® SARS-CoV-2 & Influenza A/B assay is authorized for use in CLIA-waived settings and requires less than 1 minute of hands-on time, providing quick, accurate results to support timely clinical decisions.

When symptoms of COVID-19 and influenza look the same, it may be difficult to quickly and accurately diagnose infection based on signs & symptoms alone. The cobas® SARS-CoV-2 & Influenza A/B assay helps streamline testing and enables confident treatment decisions when and where it’s needed the most.

The cobas® SARS-CoV-2 & Influenza A/B Nucleic acid test for use on the cobas® liat System (cobas® SARS-CoV-2 & Influenza A/B) is an automated rapid multiplex real-time, reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) test intended for the simultaneous qualitative detection and differentiation of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), influenza A, and influenza B virus nucleic acid in nasopharyngeal swab (NPS) and anterior nasal swab (ANS) specimens from individuals with signs and symptoms of respiratory tract infection. Clinical signs and symptoms of respiratory tract infection due to SARS-CoV-2 and influenza can be similar.

cobas® SARS-CoV-2 & Influenza A/B is intended for use as an aid in the differential diagnosis of SARS-CoV-2, influenza A, and/or influenza B infection if used in conjunction with other clinical and epidemiological information, and laboratory findings. SARS-CoV-2, influenza A and influenza B viral nucleic acid are generally detectable in NPS and ANS specimens during the acute phase of infection.

Positive results do not rule out co-infection with other organisms. The agent(s) detected by the cobas® SARS-CoV-2 & Influenza A/B may not be the definite cause of disease.

Negative results do not preclude SARS-CoV-2, influenza A, and/or influenza B infection. The results of this test should not be used as the sole basis for diagnosis, treatment, or other patient management decisions.
