Special Info
Nasopharyngeal swabs only. Dry swabs (swabs not received in viral transport media) will be rejected. Sputum and BAL specimens should be sent for RPPCR (Respiratory Panel by PCR) testing.
Clinical Info
This test is primarily to be used for patients who have met Cleveland Clinic criteria to rule-out the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) and are going to be admitted to a Cleveland Clinic Hospital. This test may also be used in situations wherein a rapid respiratory virus panel could improve access to beds. The test is very expensive. If rapid results are not required, the RPPCR assay with next day results should be ordered.
