Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
i)Information on recovery and any sequelae; results of specific tests or treatment that may have been conducted ii)For a fatal outcome, cause of death and a note on its possible relationship to the suspected event; any post-mortem findings iii)Other information: anything relevant to facilitate the assessment of the case, such as medical history including allergy, drug or alcohol abuse; family history; findings from special investigations, etc.Timepoint: The primary endpoint of this study is to determine the point estimates and 95% confidence intervals for the positive percent agreement (PPA) and negative percent agreement (NPA)for the Cepheid XAFIP-101 Test Cartridge on GeneXpert® Instrument Systems, relative to comparator methods

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
