The CLEARTEST Influenza Antigen Rapid Test is a qualitative immunochromatographic in vitro diagnostic test for the detection of influenza A and influenza B antigens from nasal swabs. It is designed for professional use and supports a timely diagnostic assessment in cases of suspected acute influenza infection.
The test enables the qualitative detection of common influenza A subtypes such as H1N1 and H3N2, as well as other influenza A variants. The test result is available within approximately ten minutes and can be evaluated visually. The test is performed using a standardized nasal swab and requires no additional equipment.
The CLEARTEST Influenza Antigen Rapid Test is suitable for point-of-care use in general practitioner and specialist practices, hospitals, emergency rooms, nursing homes, testing centers, pharmacies, as well as in workplace and community settings. It is particularly intended for use during seasonal influenza outbreaks.
The test results serve as diagnostic support and must always be evaluated within the overall clinical context and taking the symptoms into account. The test is intended exclusively for professional in-vitro diagnostic use and is not for self-testing.
