Xpert MTB/RIF, on-demand molecular testing an ideal solution:

On-demand results that empowers physicians to manage patients effectively
As few as one negative result can be used in the decision to remove patient from respiratory isolation
Simultaneous detection of both MTB and rifampin resistance mutations, which are markers for MDR-TB strain
Acceptable samples include raw or concentrated sediments prepared from induced or expectorated sputum.

Rapid, Reliable Tuberculosis Detection

The Cepheid Xpert MTB/RIF provides fast and precise results for the detection of Mycobacterium tuberculosis and rifampicin resistance directly from sputum samples. With high sensitivity and specificity, it helps clinicians make timely decisions for patient care. Real-time PCR technology ensures a high level of accuracy, supporting robust infection control and TB management strategies in both clinical and laboratory environments.

User-Friendly and Fully Automated

Designed with a digital touchscreen interface and intuitive workflow, the Xpert MTB/RIF simplifies testing. Simply load a sample into the single-use cartridge, insert it into the instrument, and the fully automated system manages the entire process with minimal user intervention. Maintenance is minimal and only requires basic cleaning, making it suitable for a range of healthcare settings in India.

FAQs of Cepheid Xpert MTB/RIF:

Q: How does the Cepheid Xpert MTB/RIF system detect tuberculosis and rifampicin resistance?

A: This system uses real-time PCR technology to amplify and detect MTB DNA and rifampicin resistance gene mutations directly from sputum samples, providing highly accurate results within two hours.

Q: What sample type is required for testing with the Xpert MTB/RIF system?

A: The device is optimized for sputum samples, which are collected from patients who are suspected of having pulmonary tuberculosis.

Q: When will results be available after starting the test?

A: Results are typically available in less than two hours from the time the test is started, allowing for rapid diagnostic and treatment decisions.

Q: Where can the Xpert MTB/RIF be used, and is it portable?

A: The system is designed for use in both laboratory and clinical settings. It is portable and suitable for facilities with stable electricity across India, thanks to its moderate size and weight (19 kg).

Q: What is the process for running a test on the Xpert MTB/RIF system?

A: To run a test, place the collected sputum into the single-use cartridge, load it into the system, and use the touchscreen interface to start the analysis. The machine automates all subsequent steps, minimizing user intervention.

Q: What are the main benefits of using Xpert MTB/RIF for tuberculosis diagnosis?

A: Key benefits include rapid turnaround, high accuracy (>95%), fully automated operation, minimal maintenance, and digital data output in various formats. The system facilitates early detection, improved patient management, and infection control.
