Cepheid’s Xpert MRSA Test EARNS CE-IVD STATUS
March 29, 2016
Cepheid’s Xpert MRSA NxG — a diagnostic test for methicillin-resistant staphyloccus aureus — has secured CE-IVD status and has been updated to detect mecA- and mecC- and emerging SCCmec subtypes.
The test rules out empty cassette variants, validates numerous swab types and features room temperature storage, according to the company’s chief medical and technology officer, David Persing.
Shipment is expected to begin in April. — Anisa Jibrell
