Influenza A, Influenza Type B, RSV Infection, SARS CoV 2 Infection
Conditions
Brief summary
The goal of this observational study is to compare the FINDER FLU A/B, RSV, SARS-CoV-2 Test to an FDA-cleared device. The study will utilize prospectively collected de-identified nasopharyngeal samples obtained from both pediatric and adult populations from subjects presenting with symptoms of respiratory illness. The main question it aims to answer are: • the study is to validate that the device intended use in terms that the device's performance meets the criteria for substantial equivalence with a predicate and satisfies the statutory criteria for Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments (CLIA) waiver.
Interventions
DIAGNOSTIC_TESTDiagnostic Test for identification of influenzas A, influenzas B, RSV and SARS-CoV-2 infections
The FINDER FLU A/B, RSV, SARS-CoV-2 Test real-time RT-PCR test for the qualitative detection of viral RNA from RSV, FLU A, FLU B and SARS-CoV-2 in nasopharyngeal (NP) specimens from individuals suspected of respiratory tract infection by their healthcare provider. Nucleic acids from respiratory viruses identified by this test are typically detectable in nasopharyngeal swabs (NP) during the acute phase of infection. The detection and identification of specific viral nucleic acids from individuals signs is an indication of the presence of the identified microorganism and assist in the diagnosis of respiratory infection when considered alongside other clinical and epidemiological information.

Inclusion criteria
* Nasopharyngeal samples will be collected using swabs and placed in liquid transport media. * The samples are obtained from individuals exhibiting respiratory signs and symptoms. * These samples are collected as part of standard differential diagnostic procedures. * A minimum sample volume of 1.5 mL is required for testing purposes.
Exclusion criteria
* de-identified samples that have not been stored in accordance with CDC recommendations for nasopharyngeal (NP) sample storage. * Samples obtained from subjects who do not exhibit signs or symptoms of respiratory illness. * The sample with a volume is less than 1.5 mL
