The Abbott ID NOW™ RSV Test Kit is specifically designed to be used with the ID NOW™ rapid testing device. It delivers reliable, laboratory-quality test results of patients with respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) at the point-of-care. The kit includes 24 assay tests that are automatically evaluated using the Abbott ID NOW device, providing initial results in 13 minutes or slightly less.

Highest sensibility: When used with the ID NOW™ device, these Abbott Test Kits deliver up to 25% more true positive results than RADTs (rapid antigen detection tests). At the same time, the analysis time of the ID NOW™ is significantly faster than other rapid molecular tests. Performance is simple, safe and intuitive (no CLIA needed). The color-coded test components ensure safe use through closed test cassettes. Since it is so easy to use, it can be used in a variety of healthcare settings, near the patients. ID NOW™ enables clinically relevant decisions to be made in real time, thus accelerating patient care .
