Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The ARIES C. difficile Assay is a real-time PCR based qualitative in vitro diagnostic test for the direct detection of C. difficile nucleic acid in stool specimens.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The ARIES C. difficile Assay is a real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) based qualitative in vitro diagnostic test for the direct detection of Clostridium difficile (C. difficile) nucleic acid in unformed (liquid or soft) stool specimens obtained from patients suspected of having Clostridium difficile associated disease (CDAD).

The objective of this study is to establish diagnostic accuracy of ARIES C. difficile Assay through a multi-site, method comparison on prospectively collected, left-over, stool specimens. Diagnostic accuracy will be expressed in terms of clinical sensitivity (or positive agreement) and specificity (or negative agreement).
