Health Systems
How would the RIGHT results impact patient satisfaction?
Patient satisfaction impacts loyalty, and clinical outcomes.1-3
Standardize PCR testing throughout your care continuum to provide patients with the quality they deserve no matter where and when they seek care.

Student Health Centers
How could students safety and parents anxiety be improved with access to the RIGHT results?
There are two common types of tests available for respiratory testing. Both provide results quickly, however there are differences.
Rapid Influenza Diagnostic Tests (RIDTs)1
Detect viral surface proteins, limiting detection of seasonal mutations of the Flu virus
Low to moderate sensitivity — 50–70% chance of result being correct
False negative results are common, leading to misuse of antimicrobial therapy and unnecessary medical interventions3
Rapid Molecular Tests2
Detect viral RNA, enabling better coverage of seasonal mutations of the Flu virus
High sensitivity — >90% chance of result being correct
Lower likelihood of false negative results
