GREAT!
Application Area:ER patients
"The Alere i is user friendly and has quality results, consistent with the rapid Ag kit WITH culture follow up. The rapid Ag kit was failing to capture roughly 10% of the positive gpAStreps which were grown in culture later. The Alere i detected those 10% we were missing."
