We herein compared the practicability and analytical performances of VitaPCR™ Flu A&B Assay and Xpert® Xpress Flu/RSV assay, two rapid POC NAATs, by reference to multiplex rRT-PCR for respiratory virus detection. The usability was nearly identical for both NAATs and elevated with a majority of items getting scores over 4 on Likert’s scale. The satisfaction questionnaire indicated better appreciation of the VitaPCR™ NAAT for its short analysis time with a test result in only 20 minutes.
