Panther Fusion AdV/hMPV/RV is a multiplex real-time PCR assay for qualitative detection and differentiation of adenovirus, human metapneumovirus and rhinovirus nucleic acids in nasopharyngeal swab specimens. The assay runs on Hologic’s Panther Fusion molecular diagnostic system.
The listed family also includes assay kits, controls and specimen lysis tubes. Those are distinct products supporting the platform workflow; the filed description names the respiratory-virus assay itself.
Listed Item
The Panther Fusion® AdV/hMPV/RV assay is a multiplex real-time PCR (RT-PCR) in vitro diagnostic test for the rapid and qualitative detection and differentiation of Adenovirus (AdV), human Metapneumovirus (hMPV), and Rhinovirus (RV).
Multiplex Testing
The assay uses a single multiplex PCR workflow to identify its three named viral targets from a nasopharyngeal specimen. Its result distinguishes among adenovirus, human metapneumovirus and rhinovirus nucleic acid detection.
The Panther Fusion instrument is the processing platform, while the assay kit supplies test-specific reagents. The family’s controls and lysis tubes are separate consumables, not interchangeable with the assay kit.
