Cepheid - Move from point-of-complexity to point-of-care simplicity

Come, discover how it’s Simpler with Cepheid.

Point-of-care PCR testing needs to be simpler in order for you to deliver a quality care experience with results everyone can trust, now and in the future. We understand this means more than just faster tests. It means we needed to design a total solution to improve workflow, increase throughput, reduce ongoing system maintenance, and deliver lab-accurate results on demand. That’s exactly what we did.

“Rapid POC molecular testing platforms for detection of respiratory viruses can be implemented in CLS, with excellent diagnostic accuracy, expedited turn-around times, and shorter time to outbreak declaration.”

Tan, Charlie et al. “Implementation of Point-of-Care Molecular Testing for Respiratory Viruses in Congregate Living Settings.” Infection Control & Hospital Epidemiology (2024): 1–5. Web.

“We found that time to outbreak declaration was shorter in CLS that used the POC testing platform; seven of 11 outbreaks were declared before qualifying MRVP result, and the remaining outbreaks were declared earlier than comparator homes that did not use the platform.”

Tan, Charlie et al. “Implementation of Point-of-Care Molecular Testing for Respiratory Viruses in Congregate Living Settings.” Infection Control & Hospital Epidemiology (2024): 1–5. Web.

“In our participating CLS, frontline clinical staff without existing laboratory experience were responsible for all stages of the testing process, including specimen collection and preparation, use of the POC platform, and interpretation of results.”

Tan, Charlie et al. “Implementation of Point-of-Care Molecular Testing for Respiratory Viruses in Congregate Living Settings.” Infection Control & Hospital Epidemiology (2024): 1–5. Web.

“In this multicenter study, a rapid POC molecular testing platform for respiratory viruses in CLS was successfully implemented across seven CLS comprising 937 combined resident beds, resulting in respiratory virus identification more than 24 hours earlier than conventional testing at an off-site laboratory.”

Tan, Charlie et al. “Implementation of Point-of-Care Molecular Testing for Respiratory Viruses in Congregate Living Settings.” Infection Control & Hospital Epidemiology (2024): 1–5. Web.

“Molecular POC testing revealed excellent diagnostic accuracy compared to reference laboratory testing and was associated with earlier identification of respiratory outbreaks.”
