The Flu Test (10 pack)

A rapid test for influenza.

The flu screen test is a point of care test for swine flu and its variants.

This flu test can differentiate between influenza virus type A and B 

It is an essential precaution to ensure that patients are quickly diagnosed for potential serious flu viruses such as swine flu.  

This Type A and B point of care rapid test is a quick and reliable method of screening for influenza. The test has been shown to detect all of the following influenza viruses:: Avian flu: H1N1, H2N2, H3N8, H4N6, H5N1, H5N2, H5N3, H5N9, H6N1, H6N2, H6N5, H7N1, H7N7, H8N4, H9N2, H10N7, H11N6, H12/N5, H13N6, H14N5, H15N8, H15N9, H16N3; Swine (New) flu: H1N1, H1N2, H3N2.

Swine flu can be treated with antiviral medicines Tamiflu and Relenza ideally within 48 hrs of developing symptoms.

The flu screen influenza A+B rapid test is a CE approved chromatography immunoassay for the differential and qualitative detection of influenza virus type A and type B antigens directly from nasal / throat / nasopharyngeal swab. Flu Screen provides a rapid point of care test for influenza.

The H1N1 Type A and B rapid flu screen can detect the influenza virus and distinguish it from the common cold.   Common cold symptoms are very similar to flu and its variants such as swine flu a type A influenza strain.

It is essential to discover the difference, otherwise any delay can minimise the effectiveness of anti-viral medication such as tamiflu and result in more serious, potentially fatal, conditions
