EPIC Order Name

Respiratory Pathogen Panel Molecular Detection, Extended

Clinical Info

This is a multiplex molecular panel which detects the following organisms: Influenza A (including subtypes), Influenza B, RSV, SARS-CoV-2, Adenovirus, Seasonal Coronaviruses, Rhinovirus/Enterovirus, Human Metapneumovirus, Parainfluenza virus 1-4, Mycoplasma pneumoniae, and Chlamydia pneumoniae.
For most patients with seasonal respiratory illness, the recommended test order is "Influenza A/Influenza B/RSV/COVID-19 (Respiratory 4-plex) Panel Molecular Detection".

Specimen Type

Swab, Nasopharyngeal

Specimen Volume

Swab

Container

UTM or VTM

Collection Instructions

Nasopharyngeal Swab 
1. Collect specimen using a flexible shaft nasopharyngeal flocked swab. 
2. Gently slide swab along floor of nose with very light pressure to nasopharyngeal wall to allow the swab to absorb secretions.
3. Rotate swab slowly two to three times and withdraw it.
4. Place the swab into a tube containing 3 mL of viral transport medium (VTM or UTM) close tightly.
5. Label tube with patient’s identifiers
6. Send specimen refrigerated.
7. Maintain sterility and forward promptly

Methodology

Nucleic Acid Amplification
Pathogens detected include:

Influenza A virus (H1, H1-2009, H3)
Influenza B virus
Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV)
Human Metapneumovirus (hMPV)
Parainfluenza virus (Types 1, 2, 3, 4)
Rhinovirus/Enterovirus*
* Due to the similarity of the conserved genetic region in Rhinoviruses and Enteroviruses, these viruses cannot be differentiated and are reported together
