The FebriDx Rapid Point-of-Care Test is a quick finger-prick test that helps healthcare professionals tell whether a respiratory infection is more likely caused by bacteria or a virus.

In a hospital emergency department study involving 244 patients, FebriDx showed strong performance in identifying bacterial infections with 87% sensitivity and a 91% negative predictive value, helping rule out bacterial infections with confidence. It also demonstrated 94% specificity for detecting viral infections.

By measuring two immune response markers, C-reactive protein (CRP) and Myxovirus Resistance Protein A (MxA), the test provides results in about 10 minutes. This can support faster treatment decisions, reduce unnecessary antibiotic use, and improve patient care. RCS Healthcare offers trusted FebriDx testing solutions for healthcare providers.
