For prescription in vitro diagnostic use. Intended for ages 12–64 with acute respiratory symptoms lasting fewer than 7 days and fever beginning within the past 3 days. Interpret results alongside clinical assessment and other diagnostic findings; the test does not identify a specific pathogen or measure infection severity. A negative result does not eliminate every possibility of bacterial infection. Predictive values depend on the population tested.
