Flu Diagnose

Accurately Diagnose Flu with Point-of-Care Testing (POCT) Solutions

According to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), surveillance systems are detecting a slow but steady increase in influenza (flu). Without the right diagnostic tools, it is very hard to distinguish flu from other viral or bacterial illnesses. As the presence of other respiratory infections rapidly increase due to COVID-19 and other variants, flu screening is more important than ever before.

Ensuring your practice is properly prepared with testing and treatment options is the safest way to provide quality care and a reliable action plan for your patients. Henry Schein Medical offers a robust portfolio of flu testing options that can be administered and read at the point-of-care. With rapid results in minutes, rather than hours and days, it may be possible for you to:

  • Chart the right course of treatment
  • Reduce the severity and durations of symptoms and conditions
  • Improve the patient experience
  • Increase your caseload due to the reduction in time spent with tested patients

The CDC states "Influenza virus testing can inform clinical management when the results may influence clinical decisions such as whether to initiate antiviral treatment, perform other diagnostic testing, or to implement infection prevention and control measures for influenza." Whether it's the flu, COVID-19, or another respiratory illness, accurately diagnosing your patients is at the heart of your treatment plan.

Our flu test portfolio includes molecular, reader and lateral flow options:
