FebriDx Rapid Viral v Bacterial POC Test
FebriDx is a rapid POC test from fingerprick blood to accurately differentiate viral from bacterial acute respiratory infection. FebriDx has a 97-99% Negative Predictive Value to rule out bacterial infection and reduce inappropriate antibiotics.
By combining CRP, with the specific viral biomarker, MxA, FebriDx achieves high sensitivity and high specificity to accurately and reliably differentiate between viral and bacterial acute respiratory infections. FabriDx can be used for both upper and lower respiratory tract infection in both paediatric and adult patients. FebriDx has been shown to improve clinical management and safely reduce inappropriate antibiotic treatment by 50-80%.
