Diagnosis / Prognosis - Ellume Home Flu Test
Diagnosis / Prognosis - ellume.lab Flu A+B Test
Diagnosis / Prognosis - Reverse Transcriptase Polymerase Chain Reaction (RT-PCR)
Diagnosis / Prognosis - Viral culture

Experimental: Arm - Ellume Home Flu Test and ellume.lab Flu A+B Test

Upper respiratory tract samples from participants will be tested with:

Ellume Home Flu Test; ellume.lab Flu A+B Test; Reverse Transcriptase Polymerase Chain Reaction (RT-PCR) and viral culture.


Diagnosis / Prognosis: Ellume Home Flu Test
The Ellume Home Flu Test is a rapid in vitro diagnostic test for the detection of influenza A or influenza B in nasal swab samples.

Diagnosis / Prognosis: ellume.lab Flu A+B Test
The ellume.lab Flu A+B Test is a rapid in vitro diagnostic test intended to be used at point-of-care for the detection of influenza A or influenza B in nasal swab samples.

Diagnosis / Prognosis: Reverse Transcriptase Polymerase Chain Reaction (RT-PCR)
Reverse Transcriptase Polymerase Chain Reaction (RT_PCR) is a molecular diagnostic technique for the detection and identification of influenza viruses, both for clinical samples and isolates. The Reverse Transcriptase Polymerase Chain Reaction (RT-PCR) allows template viral RNA to be reverse transcribed producing complementary DNA (cDNA) which can then be amplified and detected.

Diagnosis / Prognosis: Viral culture
Nasopharyngeal samples will be inoculated into appropriate culture media for influenza viral culture. In this test, the virus is actually grown and further identified in the laboratory as influenza A or B.
