Infection Control
HAI (Health Care Associated Infections) are one of the major problems in the current health care. Faster diagnostics providing you answers in hours instead of in days (like classical microbiology does) can help you win the fight against HAI and at the same time economize by the reduction of isolation days & costs and limiting infection prevention costs.
Cepheid Benelux offers you 2 different kit systems:
GeneXpert®’s HAI product range (only in the Netherlands)
Providing you the answer from sample to result in less than 1 hour (MRSA screening in less than 75 min) with a hands-on time of only 2 minutes!
Current products: Xpert® MRSA, Xpert® MRSA BC, Xpert® MRSA SSTI, Xpert® MRSA/SA Nasal, Xpert® C.difficile, Xpert® vanA/vanB.
