Brief Summary

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

The primary purpose of this clinical investigation is to establish the performance of the GenePOC Strep A, C/G assay on the revogene. This will be achieved by comparing the test to a conventional method for detection of Group A β-hemolytic Streptococcus (GAS) and pyogenic Group C and G β-hemolytic Streptococcus (GCS/GGS) in throat swab samples.

Detailed Description

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

The GenePOC Strep A, C/G assay will be performed using the revogene™ instrument. The revogene instrument, used in conjunction with appropriate reagents, is capable of automated cell lysis, dilution of nucleic acids from multiple sample types as well as automated amplification and detection of target nucleic acid sequences.

A dual swab sample is collected when ICF is signed by patient. One of the swab will be tested on the revogene™, and the second swab will be tested with standard microbiology method at a Reference Center.
