Conditions

COVID-19, Influenza

Brief summary

The purpose of this research is to determine if the use of a new device can accurately detect a virus infection.

Detailed description

GRIP has developed a novel, graphene-based detection system for potential use in point-of-care settings. This study will compare the performance of the GRIP device to routine PCR testing for detection of COVID-19 and influenza viruses. When patients present for routine testing for COVID-19 and influenza, they will also have a separate nasal swab collected that will be tested by the GRIP point-of-care device.

Interventions

DEVICEGRIP Electronic Diagnostic Chip

Graphene-based point-of-care device for detection of respiratory viruses (e.g., COVID-19 and influenza) from a nasal swab

DIAGNOSTIC_TESTLaboratory-based nucleic acid amplification tests (NAATs)

Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) analysis for detection of viruses (e.g., Roche cobas SARS-CoV-2 or influenza A/B) from nasal swab
