The Panther Fusion Flu A/B/RSV Assay is a Respiratory Virus Panel Nucleic Acid Assay System, designed for the molecular detection of influenza A, influenza B, and respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) from clinical specimens. This in vitro diagnostic device amplifies and detects viral RNA sequences through automated nucleic acid testing, enabling rapid and accurate identification of respiratory pathogens.

The system comprises disposable components, including the Panther Fusion Assay Fluids I-S Kit, Universal Fluids Kit, and Specimen Lysis Tubes, which are intended for single-use in a laboratory setting. Compliance is achieved through FDA 510(k) clearance and IVDR conformity, ensuring adherence to regulatory standards for microbiological diagnostics. Specimens are processed on the Panther Fusion platform, a fully automated system requiring no manual extraction, with results generated within hours of sample receipt.

Frequently asked questions

What respiratory viruses does the Panther Fusion Flu A/B/RSV Assay detect, and how does it work?

The Panther Fusion Flu A/B/RSV Assay detects influenza A, influenza B, and respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) through automated nucleic acid testing. It amplifies and detects viral RNA sequences from clinical specimens, enabling rapid and accurate identification of these respiratory pathogens. The system is designed for use on the Panther Fusion platform, which handles sample processing and nucleic acid extraction fully automatically, delivering results within hours of sample receipt.

Are the Panther Fusion Assay Fluids I-S Kit, Universal Fluids Kit, and Specimen Lysis Tubes reusable or single-use?

The Panther Fusion Assay Fluids I-S Kit, Universal Fluids Kit, and Specimen Lysis Tubes are explicitly designed for single-use in a laboratory setting. This ensures consistency, sterility, and compliance with best practices for molecular diagnostics, reducing the risk of cross-contamination between samples.

What regulatory pathways does this device follow, and what does that mean for users?

The Panther Fusion Flu A/B/RSV Assay holds FDA 510(k) clearance and IVDR conformity, meaning it meets U.S. and European Union regulatory standards for in vitro diagnostics. This ensures the device’s safety, performance, and compliance with microbiological testing requirements, providing users with confidence in its clinical validity and reliability for detecting respiratory viruses.

How is the Panther Fusion Flu A/B/RSV Assay supplied, and what components are included?

The assay is supplied as part of the Panther Fusion system, which includes disposable components like the Assay Fluids I-S Kit, Universal Fluids Kit, and Specimen Lysis Tubes—all intended for single-use. These components work together with the automated platform to process clinical specimens without manual extraction, streamlining workflows in microbiology laboratories.

Is the Panther Fusion platform fully automated, and what does that mean for workflow efficiency?

Yes, the Panther Fusion platform is fully automated, handling all steps of nucleic acid extraction, amplification, and detection without manual intervention. This eliminates human error, reduces hands-on time, and accelerates turnaround time—typically delivering results within hours of sample receipt, which is critical for managing respiratory virus outbreaks in clinical settings.
