What does a Detected result mean?
A Detected result indicates the presence of the pathogen's RNA, suggesting an active infection that requires medical treatment.
What does a Not Detected result mean?
A Not Detected result means no RNA of the tested pathogens was found, but it does not rule out other infections.
Is fasting required for this test?
No, fasting is not required. However, follow specific sample collection instructions.
How long does it take to get results?
Results are typically available by the 4th working day. Online reports may be accessible within 48 hours.
