Comparison of sensitivity and mean time to detection between CC and R-mix™ after exclusion of 95 DAT (+) results

Virus CC
R-mix™
No. of positive/TPa Sensitivity (95% CI) (%) Mean TTDb NPVc (%) No. of positive/TP Sensitivity (95% CI) (%) Mean TTDb NPV (%)
Influenza A and B 18/21 86 (65–96) 4.3 99.3 19/21 90 (70–99) 1.1 99.6
RSV 5/64 83 (42–99) 10.2 99.8 5/6d 83 (42–99) 1.6 99.8
a

True positives.

b

Time to detection (days) = duration between completion of sample processing and issuance of test result.

c

Negative predictive value.

d

Includes one dual infection, RSV(+) by R-mix™ and EIA, adenovirus(+) by CC only.
