In the context of the pandemic, the rapid emergency use authorisation of diagnostic assays for SARS-CoV-2 has meant there are few peer-reviewed published studies of clinical performance of commercial assays.
To evaluate the clinical performance of AusDiagnostics respiratory multiplex tandem PCR assay including SARS-CoV-2.
We reviewed the results following implementation of AusDiagnostics respiratory multiplex tandem PCR assay including SARS-CoV-2, and compared with an in-house RT-PCR assay at our State Reference Laboratory.
Initial validation using AusDiagnostics coronavirus multiplex tandem PCR assay including SARS-CoV-2 demonstrated good concordance with the State Reference Laboratory. After implementing the AusDiagnostics respiratory multiplex tandem PCR assay including SARS-CoV-2, we tested 7839 samples. 127 samples in which SARS-CoV-2 was detected using the AusDiagnostics assay were referred for testing at the State Reference Laboratory, with concordant results in 118/127 (92.9%) of samples. After resolution of discrepancies, 125/127 (98.4%) of AusDiagnostics results were determined to be true positive results. Out of 7839 samples tested for SARS-CoV-2 during this period, only 2 tests (0.02%) were indeterminate results.
The AusDiagnostics respiratory MT-PCR assay is a reliable assay for detection of SARS-CoV-2.
在大流行背景下,针对 SARS-CoV-2 的诊断检测试剂快速获得紧急使用授权,这意味着针对商业检测试剂的临床性能,仅有少数经过同行评审的已发表研究。
评估 AusDiagnostics 呼吸道多重串联 PCR 检测试剂(含 SARS-CoV-2)的临床性能。
我们对 AusDiagnostics 呼吸道多重串联 PCR 检测试剂(含 SARS-CoV-2)实施后的结果进行了回顾,并与我们州立参考实验室的内部 RT-PCR 检测进行了比较。
使用 AusDiagnostics 冠状病毒多重串联 PCR 检测试剂(含 SARS-CoV-2)进行初始验证,结果与州立参考实验室具有良好的一致性。在实施 AusDiagnostics 呼吸道多重串联 PCR 检测试剂(含 SARS-CoV-2)后,我们共检测了 7839 个样本。AusDiagnostics 检测到的 127 个 SARS-CoV-2 样本被送到州立参考实验室进行检测,其中 118/127(92.9%)的样本结果一致。在解决差异后,确定 125/127(98.4%)的 AusDiagnostics 结果为真阳性结果。在此期间,对 7839 个样本进行 SARS-CoV-2 检测,仅有 2 个(0.02%)结果为不确定。
AusDiagnostics 呼吸道 MT-PCR 检测试剂是一种可靠的 SARS-CoV-2 检测方法。
