RAMP RSV Test

Faster results for better patient management

The Challenge

IS IT A COLD? OR SOMETHING WORSE?

  • Each year in the US alone, RSV leads to more than 2 million outpatient visits, 57, 000 hospitalizations and 200 deaths in children under the age of 5.
  • Laboratory testing is necessary to differentiate highly contagious RSV from the common cold or other rhinoviruses.
  • Traditional viral culture techniques can take up to 72 hours
  • Rapid visual tests can be subjective, and their reliability depends on the conditions under which they are used.
