Excellent product, great value, great service.
Application Area:C difficile diagnostic testing
"We have been using this product for about two years now I believe and have had excellent success and positive feedback from clinicians and product users. It did take some education and about two months of teaching people how to interpret a two-part result but after that, no issues at all. Alere/Abbott staff were a great help through the validation process and implementation."

Good kit but it can give you false negative results for toxins.
Application Area:Clostridium difficle toxin and antigen
"It's a good kit but lots of false positive results since toxin starts to degrade at room temperature. We often times have to rely on our PCR test to confirm the results."

Application Area:C. difficile screening/testing
"The product is very easy to use. We also use Alere's Shiga Toxin assay and the steps are almost identical. In our population, we use a C. diff screening algorithm - GDH/Toxin screening and PCR follow up if only one test line is present. Only about 15% of our screens need a PCR follow up."

Overall a great reliable way to measure small amounts of C. difficile exotoxins.
Application Area:Infectious Disease Research
"We love the C.DIFF Quik Check because 1) it is very easy to use; 2) very sensitive to small concentrations of exotoxins; 3) very reliable. I just wish it wasn't so expensive. I've purchased the kit for years now from Alere. Perhaps I would qualify for some sort of discount due to the long relationship we've had over the years. Perhaps you could place me in contact with a local representative? Thank you very much!"

Great product and accurate results
"It is very easy to use, and interpretation of the test result is simple - just observe the blue lines on the Ag and Tox sides of the reaction window. The background is white and gives a discernible result. All staff (3 shifts) have no problem running the tests. In the past, we thought just liquid faecal specimens would be positive for either toxin or antigen. But over the years, liquid, solid, and semi-solid faecal specimens can also give positive toxin or antigen results.The only drawback - we have to bring all the reagents and devices to room temperature before running the tests."

Alere's Quik Chek C.diff kit allows for confident resulting of patient samples.
Application Area:Microbiology Department - Hospital Lab
"Since switching from an EIA C.diff test to the Alere Quik Chek C.diff test, the difference has been night and day! We used to batch our tests because they took so long to run, but the Quik Chek allows for rapid testing of individual samples resulting in a much faster turnaround time. We missed several positive C.diff patients using the EIA method due to poor sensitivity for that methodology. I am confident in the results that we turn out using Alere's test kit, plus having the toxin detection built right into the test cassette is a huge time-saver!"

"The Alere C.Diff Quik Chek Complete fits the algorithm recommended by ASM's 2010 guidelines for management of CDI. We rely on it as our in-house screen for CDI. In addition to stricter specimen requirements, we rarely have to send specimens to our reference lab for further testing. We get great service from our rep and product arrives quickly when ordered. The shelf life is great also."

OK but not perfect for a screening platform.
Application Area:C. Diff GDH and Toxin screening
"The test give expected results for GDH but we are disappointed with the sensitivity of the toxin test."
Review date: 20 Mar 2017 | C. DIFF QUIK CHEK COMPLETE Manufactured by TechLab, Distributed
Manufacturer's ResponseMr. Crockett, I'm sorry to hear you are disappointed in the sensitivity of the toxin test. The sensitivity often looks low compared to molecular tests or toxigenic culture. This is because carriers can have the bacteria present without actively producing toxin. They will be positive by PCR or Tox Culture, since the bacteria can make the toxin if needed, but are negative by a Toxin assay because toxin isn't actively being produced. I would be happy to discuss this further with you if needed. Please contact Laurie Osbahr (Laurie.Osbahr@alere.com) - ID Product Manager.

I love how simple this EIA test is to perform and read. Turn around is quick.
Application Area:Patient care
"This test is very easy to use and takes minutes to setup compared to other EIA tests. The only drawback I can find would be in ruling out CDIFF. There is nothing in the instructions about how many samples are required to rule out CDIFF. 3 consecutive days of testing is not always convenient or cost effective to keep a patient in the hospital vs other methodologies. However, this test is simple and straightforward if it is the methodology in use."
Review date: 17 Mar 2017 | C. DIFF QUIK CHEK COMPLETE Manufactured by TechLab, Distributed
Manufacturer's ResponseMs. Lombard, we are sorry that the PI doesn't clearly state how many samples are needed to rule out C. diff. Due to the increased sensitivity of the GDH antigen, only one sample is necessary to report a patient as negative for CDI. The ASM and ESCMID guidelines support ruling out C. diff with a single negative GDH result with no further testing.

Manufacturer's ResponseMs. Credille, while the kit must be stored refrigerated and run at room temperature, it is ok to keep a kit at room temperature, during the course of an 8-hour shift. If you are running the 50T kit, you can remove half of the reagents and keep the other half in the fridge. The bottles will also warm up faster if removed from the insulating foam carrier in the box.

"Easy enough to use. We only pick up about 1/2 of our toxigenic C diff from this product. The other half are found after reflex to PCR. Also, wish everything required for testing was in the kit, including tubes."
Review date: 17 Mar 2017 | C. DIFF QUIK CHEK COMPLETE Manufactured by TechLab, Distributed
Manufacturer's ResponseMs. Davis, your results are in line with many publications that show only about half of PCR-positive samples have active toxin production. The remainder are typically carriers who have the bacteria present, but toxin is not being produced to cause disease. All reagents, pipets, and external controls are included in the kit. Tubes are not included due to the variety of tubes commonly used in labs, and the need to have corresponding racks.

"This test is easy to use and requires little hand on tech time. For a small hospital who can not justify PCR/NAAA testing in- house, I would suggest using this test for an algorithmic approach."

Good results, but PCR is better and other methods are becoming available ie PCR
Application Area:Looking for presence of C diff antigen and toxin
"Effectiveness of product is good but reproducibility between PCR and this method could be better. The product is very easy to use and interpret. Customer service has been great. I would give this a rating of 4 out of 5. Not giving the fifth star because it is not as sensitive as PCR; which is really to be expected."

Very happy with the C diff Ag/toxin product
Application Area:screening of stool samples for C diff antigena and toxin
"We chose to use an algorithm that started with screening for C diff Ag and toxin. We then will reflex testing to PCR if Ag is detected , but not toxin. We favor this approach over just testing by PCR because it allows us to tell the physician if toxin is being actively produced. It also lets the physician know that a positive PCR test could be attributed to a carrier state instead of C diff disease. We feel that a lot of the current literature is validating this approach. Our algorithm is less expensive than PCR only testing. Another benefit is enhanced antibiotic stewardship."

Application Area:testing stool samples for Cdiff
"I would highly recommend this kit to any other lab. It is very easy to use and our product rep came in and helped us do the validation. It reproduces well. When you can get a result in 25 minutes it is a huge boost for patient care. It gets that patient off of isolation faster, saving the hospital money. We don't have any problems using the kit, but if we did Trey and Robin are only an email away. They are always checking on us to make sure the products are performing as expected. The pricing is reasonable because when you save the hospital dollars on length of patient time on isolation it is worth it."

Manufacturer's ResponseMs. Lovelis, we are sorry to hear you have experienced problems with sample migration. I have spoken with our Technical Consultants to reach out to you to help resolve any issues. The incubation steps do take time for the sample to interact with the reagents and can't be shortened. Many users find that time is sufficient to complete additional tasks in the lab while the timer is running. Please contact Laurie Osbahr (Laurie.Osbahr@alere.com) - ID Product Manager.

It was exactly the product I needed to revamp C. diff testing in my lab.
Application Area:C. difficile testting
"The quick check complete is so easy to use that I was able to take C. difficile testing from testing once/day in a batch to testing as it comes into the lab 24/7. It enables us to make quick decisions about whether a patient needs to be placed on enteric precautions or not. Also, I have correlated this test to molecular results in proficiency testing and there has been 100% agreement each time. Having the antigen and the toxin detection on board 1 cartridge is awesome."

The C. DIFF QUIK CHEK COMPLETE® test (manufactured and developed by TechLab®, Inc.) is the only rapid cassette assay that simultaneously detects both glutamate dehydrogenase (GDH) antigen and toxins A & B of C. difficile in fecal specimens.
The test detects C. difficile antigen, GDH, as a screen for the presence of C. difficile and confirms the presence of toxigenic C. difficile by detecting toxins A and B in fecal specimens from persons suspected of having C. difficile disease. This test is to be used as an aid in the diagnosis of C. difficile disease.
