Meso Scale Diagnostics' Point of Care Influenza Test Led to the First Identification of A(H1N1) Swine Flu Infection
Date:5/4/2009

ommon human A(H1N1), common human A(H3N2) and avian A(H5N1) influenza strains.

The MSD Point of Care Influenza Test has been granted an investigational device exemption by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and is currently undergoing evaluation in a multi-site clinical trial. The test, which consists of a portable instrument and disposable test cartridges, reports results from a nasal swab sample within 15 minutes. The early identification of the 2009 A(H1N1) swine flu infection as a result of the use of MSD's test highlights the need, identified by BARDA and the CDC, for point-of-care tests with the ability to differentiate between common and novel strains of influenza.
