QuikRead go Strep A is a simple and rapid test for detecting Strep A (Streptococcus pyogenes), a causative agent of bacterial pharyngitis, in throat samples. This ready-to-use test is used together with the QuikRead go instrument which automatically stores the results along with user and/or patient data. The instrument can be connected to HIS/LIS systems if needed.
Generally
When a patient presents with a sore throat (acute pharyngitis), it can be difficult to differentiate, based on visual inspection only, whether the infection is caused by Strep A or by viruses. QuikRead go Strep A is an easy to use and fast diagnostic test which reliably detects Strep A from a throat swab sample. It provides quick and accurate results during consultation, identifying those patients who need treatment with antibiotics. The test result – positive or negative – is displayed on the instrument, thus eliminating the uncertainty and subjectivity associated with visual assessment of the test result.
