This purpose of this test is for the simultaneous qualitative detection and identification of multiple respiratory viral and bacterial nucleic acids, including nucleic acids from SARS-CoV-2, in nasopharyngeal swabs obtained from individuals suspected of respiratory tract infections. Identification of specific viral and bacterial nucleic acids from individuals exhibiting signs and/or symptoms of respiratory infection is indicative of the presence of the identified microorganism and aids in the diagnosis of respiratory infection if used in conjunction with other clinical and epidemiological information. The results of this test should not be used as the sole basis for diagnosis, treatment, or other patient management decisions.
