Primary Outcome Measures:
  • Sensitivity and specificity of influenza A and influenza B [ Time Frame: End of study ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]

Secondary Outcome Measures:
  • Sensitivity and specificity of influenza A subtypes H1N1 and H3N2 [ Time Frame: End of study ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]

Study Start Date: February 2009
Estimated Primary Completion Date: October 2009 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)
Arms Assigned Interventions
Arm 1: Experimental
2 Nasal swabs
Device: fluID Rapid Influenza Test
The fluID™ Rapid Influenza Test is an in vitro diagnostic assay designed to be used with a reader for the qualitative detection of influenza type A and type B nucleoprotein antigens, and the differentiation of influenza type A subtypes A/H1 and A/H3 antigens associated with the seasonal influenza H1N1 and H3N2, in nasal swabs, nasopharyngeal swabs and nasal wash/aspirate specimens. The test is intended as an aid in the rapid, qualitative diagnosis of influenza type A and type B viral infections in patients symptomatic with influenza-like illness. The fluID™ Rapid Influenza Test is intended for use by a healthcare professional in a laboratory or Point-of-Care (POC).
Arm 2: Experimental
2 Nasopharyngeal swabs
Device: fluID Rapid Influenza Test
The fluID™ Rapid Influenza Test is an in vitro diagnostic assay designed to be used with a reader for the qualitative detection of influenza type A and type B nucleoprotein antigens, and the differentiation of influenza type A subtypes A/H1 and A/H3 antigens associated with the seasonal influenza H1N1 and H3N2, in nasal swabs, nasopharyngeal swabs and nasal wash/aspirate specimens. The test is intended as an aid in the rapid, qualitative diagnosis of influenza type A and type B viral infections in patients symptomatic with influenza-like illness. The fluID™ Rapid Influenza Test is intended for use by a healthcare professional in a laboratory or Point-of-Care (POC).
Arm 3: Experimental
Nasal wash or aspirate
Device: fluID Rapid Influenza Test
The fluID™ Rapid Influenza Test is an in vitro diagnostic assay designed to be used with a reader for the qualitative detection of influenza type A and type B nucleoprotein antigens, and the differentiation of influenza type A subtypes A/H1 and A/H3 antigens associated with the seasonal influenza H1N1 and H3N2, in nasal swabs, nasopharyngeal swabs and nasal wash/aspirate specimens. The test is intended as an aid in the rapid, qualitative diagnosis of influenza type A and type B viral infections in patients symptomatic with influenza-like illness. The fluID™ Rapid Influenza Test is intended for use by a healthcare professional in a laboratory or Point-of-Care (POC).

Detailed Description:

The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the clinical sensitivity and specificity of the fluID Rapid Influenza Test in detecting influenza A and influenza B, as evaluated with respect to fresh samples collected prospectively from individuals presenting with signs and symptoms of influenza-like illness (ILI). Test results will be compared with those obtained from viral culture testing of samples using the same specimen types, obtained from the same subjects. The specimen types under evaluation in this study will be nasal swab, nasopharyngeal swab, nasal wash and aspirate specimens.

A secondary objective of this study is to evaluate the accuracy of the fluID Rapid Influenza Test in detecting each of the H1 and H3 subtypes of influenza A, in nasal swab, nasopharyngeal swab, nasal wash and aspirate specimens.
