Description
Meridian Bioscience Immunocard STAT!® Strep A
A CLIA waived one step lateral flow immunoassay for the direct detection of Group A Streptococcal antigens from throat swabs specimens.
Differentiate Group A Strep from viral pharyngitis. Up to 70% of patients receive antibiotic therapy while only 20 – 30% have Group A Strep pharyngitis
Improve decision making for physicians by providing a convenient and timely result of Group A Strep pharyngitis.
- Acute pharyngitis is one of the most frequent illnesses for which pediatricians are consulted.
- An estimated 15 million Group A Strep visits per year in the U.S. have an annual economic impact of $224-$539 million. How well does your current method detect Group A Strep?
How well do you maximize the use of your financial and technical resources?
- How well do you maximize the use of your financial and technical resources?
- How how well does your test method determine the need for antibiotic treatment?
Increased Detection with Simple Workflow
- Alethia Group A Strep can help prevent unncessary antibiotic treatment which can lead to the development of antimicrobial resistance among common pathogens
- The accuracy and speed of Alethia Group A Strep results helps families return to their busy daily routines as quickly as possible
- Alethia Group A Strep molecular amplification has a 98% sensitivity that has shown to be 53% more sensitive than traditional culture
