The DASH SARS-CoV-2 & Flu A/B Test, for use on the DASH Rapid PCR System, is a CLIA-waived, FDA-cleared, point-of-care (POC) in vitro diagnostic (IVD) that detects nucleic acids of target pathogens. The system consists of an instrument, barcode scanner, collection swabs, and test cartridges.

The DASH Instrument is a sample-to-answer system that automates the process of sample preparation, sequence-specific capture and PCR amplification, detects the presence of target pathogens, and reports the result. The instrument weighs less than 10 pounds and has a very small footprint that allows it to fit on a desktop in a wide variety of care settings, including hospitals, urgent care, outpatient clinics, emergency rooms, physician’s offices, and decentralized labs. The DASH Instrument requires no regular maintenance.

The DASH test cartridge contains all reagents necessary to perform a test and is built to be multiplex capable. DASH test cartridges, sample collection swabs, and controls are stored at room temperature.**

The DASH Rapid PCR System delivers lab-quality results at the point of care, is simple to use, and can be operated with minimal training.
