RESPIRATORY-IDX

Comprehensive. Precise. Life-Saving.

Accurate Detection of Multiple Respiratory Pathogens in a Single Test.

Clinical Background

Acute Respiratory Infections (ARIs) are responsible for 4.25 million deaths annually, predominantly among children and the elderly.

The clinical manifestations of viral and bacterial illnesses are often similar and overlap, making differentiation challenging for the clinician.

Rapid assays at the point of care have been helpful in particular situations but still possess significant limitations including their inability to detect multiple pathogens in a single test. A negative rapid in-office test can lead to a false sense of security for both the patient and the clinician, resulting in the delay of appropriate diagnosis and treatment. Furthermore, with the focus on one or two other viral pathogens being omitted from testing panels, broader diagnostic tools are needed to help clinicians accurately diagnose and appropriately treat their patients within an acceptable time frame.

Why Respiratory-IDX?

  • Broad-spectrum testing that screens for multiple respiratory pathogens in one go
  • Helps clinicians make faster, more accurate treatment decisions
  • Supports antibiotic stewardship by distinguishing between viral and bacterial infections
  • Enhances care for high-risk groups including children, elderly, and immunocompromised patients

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything You Need to Know Before You Test

Unlike traditional tests that focus on 1–2 pathogens, RESPIRATORY-IDX detects multiple viruses and bacteria in a single, highly accurate test.

RESPIRATORY-IDX is recommended for individuals with symptoms like cough, congestion, shortness of breath, or fever, especially when a respiratory infection is suspected.

Coverage may vary, but many insurance plans do cover RESPIRATORY-IDX when medically necessary. It’s best to check with your provider for specific coverage details.
