Performance evaluation of QIAstat-Dx® GI2 Panel using the QIAstat-Dx® Analyzer to demonstrate that the QIAstat-Dx® GI2 Panel achieves its intended performance during normal conditions of use by the intended user in the intended environment

Full description

The objective of the study is to demonstrate that the QIAstat-Dx® Gastrointestinal Panel 2 achieves its intended performance during normal conditions of use by the intended user in the intended environment.

The primary objective is to evaluate the performance of QIAstat-Dx® GI2 Panel in comparison with the results obtained from the reference methods.

The secondary objective of the study is to evaluate the safety of QIAstat-Dx® GI2 Panel with respect to users/operators.

The primary study endpoint will be the results for each analyte obtained from testing prospective and retrospective specimens with QIAstat-Dx® GI2 Panel and Reference Method(s). Positive Percent Agreement (PPA) and Negative Percent Agreement (NPA) will be determined

Enrollment: 2,000 patients

Sex: All

Volunteers: No Healthy Volunteers
