Detects RSV A, RSV B, Influenza A, Influenza A subtype H1, Influenza A subtype H3, Influenza B, Parainfluenza 1, Parainfluenza 2, Parainfluenza 3, Human Metapneumovirus, Rhinovirus, and Adenovirus.
Negative results do not preclude respiratory virus infection and should not be used as the sole basis for diagnosis, treatment or other management decisions.
Testing of specimens other than NP swabs falls outside of the approved manufacturer's specimen recommendation as prescribed in the NxTAG-RPP package insert. The performance of this assay has been determined by the UCSF laboratory as acceptable for alternative respiratory specimen types such as BAL, bronchial wash, endotrachael aspirate, etc. Results should be used in conjunction with clinical findings.
The primers for detection of Rhinovirus have been shown to cross-react with Enterovirus.

Sample Type
Nasopharyngeal swab (preferred), nasal wash or aspirate, trachael aspirate, BAL, bronchial wash
Anteriror Nares swab - Sensitivity may be reduced based on this sample type
Collect
Nasopharyngeal swab: Flocked swab in Universal Transport Medium (UTM) or Viral Holding Media (VTM), preferred. Swabs in liquid Amies elution medium (E-swab), Aptima kits, and Abbott Multi Collect kits are also acceptable.
Combined Nasopharyngeal Swab/Oropharyngeal Swab are acceptable.
Other samples: Clean container
If ordering a concurrent COVID-19 PCR, collect only one swab for both Respiratory Viral Panel and COVID-19 PCR orders. Nasopharyngeal swab will provide optimal sensitivity.
Amount to Collect
Nasopharyngeal swab: 1 flocked swab
Fluid: 2 mL
Preferred Volume
Nasopharyngeal swab: 1 flocked swab
Fluid: 2 mL
Minimum Volume
Nasopharyngeal swab: 1 flocked swab
Fluid: 1 mL
Remarks
Nasopharyngeal swab: Use flocked swab/UTM or VHM. Insert swab into the nostril, gently rotating the swab inward until resistance is met at the level of the turbinates. Rotate the swab a few times against the nasopharyngeal wall (approximately 10 sec) and then withdraw swab. Insert swab into container with Universal Transport Medium or Viral Holding Media. Break end of swab so top of vial can be screwed on securely. Appropriately label specimen and send to the laboratory.
