Diagnose and triage faster during this years
Tridemic of respiratory infections.
This winter a tridemic of respiratory infections from influenza, Covid-19 and RSV is expected to raise the risk of serious illness for vulnerable groups and increase the burden on emergency rooms and primary healthcare.
Whilst pre-pandemic, global seasonal incidences were estimated to be
As we head into the colder weather of winter, transmission of all three infections will start to increase so it is as important as ever for healthcare providers to be prepared with the tools they need to manage incoming patients, prevent onward transmission and provide the right treatment when needed.
How can the LumiraDx Platform help?
Implement infection control measures quickly during this winter’s tridemic, with lab-accurate results in minutes across all 3 tests, from a single swab sample.*
The LumiraDx Platform offers reliable, portable testing to quickly identify patients with SARS-CoV-2, Flu A/B or RSV, using a combination of high-sensitivity respiratory tests.
By using both LumiraDx SARS-CoV-2 & Flu A/B and SARS-CoV-2 & RSV tests you can test for all three from a single swab sample* in 12 minutes if tests are run concurrently, or 24 minutes if run one after the other.
