This test is a rapid test that detects the presence of infectious agent in nasal secretions and displays a visible result. It is one test (1 nasal swab) that provides a result for Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV). To administer the test a sample is taken using a swab specific to nasal sampling. The flocked end of the swab is inserted into a nostril approximately 1 to 1.5 cm and spinning it in place.
This test has been proven effective by extensive testing of samples that have been identified as positive or negative by an alternate accepted diagnostic method. Performance of these tests are reported as measurements of Sensitivity, the ability to correctly identify a positive sample as positive, and Specificity, the ability to correctly identify a negative sample as negative. Further testing has been performed to ensure no cross-reactivity with infectious agents other than those specifically targeted.
Fresh Nasal Swabs (compared to culture): Sensitivity 92.3%, Specificity 93.5%
Consider testing yourself or your child if you/they are experiencing the following symptoms:
Additional symptoms for children:
The RSV Rapid Test performs best when used on people who have symptoms that are likely to be caused by the specific target microbe (virus or bacteria). Therefore, Rockdoc recommends that only symptomatic people, meaning people experiencing any of the symptoms listed in the “Is the RSV Rapid Test right for my or my child’s symptoms?” are tested.
There is no minimum age for the TRU RSV rapid test. This test is gentle and safe for any age.
For children who may be resistant to a nasal swab, our practitioners will make two attempts to collect a sample. It is the responsibility of the parent to know if the child can complete the test prior to purchase. If the test cannot be completed no refund will be issued.
