Infection Testing:
COVID-19, otherwise known as the novel coronavirus, is a global pandemic with a high rate of transmission and has been shown to dramatically impact high-risk populations. Speed and certainty of detection within patient populations is key to identifying and isolating potential outbreaks.
MedTek21 supports standalone COVID-19 test panels, as well as COVID-19+RPP panels that also provide insight into over 26 additional bacterial and viral respiratory pathogens. The MedTek21 system provides fast, efficient access to patient reports as soon as they are available, allowing them to be utilized within existing care workflows.
The MedTek21 client operations team is built to help you support rapid-response efforts, bulk collection initiatives, as well as telemedicine options where necessary. MedTek21 even helps support local and state compliance mandates for testing programs and tracking.
MedTek21 has partnered with AccessDx to enable the procurement, ordering, and results delivery of the AccessDx COVID-19 test panels for MedTek21 clients. The AccessDx tests has been made available pursuant to the FDA’s Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) for diagnostic testing in CLIA-certified laboratories.
