The Need
- Norovirus is highly contagious and is the most common cause of acute gastroenteritis worldwide1,2
- Globally, an estimated 685 million cases of norovirus are seen annually, including 200 million cases amongst children under 51,2
- Norovirus causes an estimated 200,000 deaths per year, including 50,000 child deaths1,2
- Every year, this virus is estimated to cost $60 billion worldwide due to healthcare costs and lost productivity1,2
- Norovirus outbreaks in healthcare institutions require immediate implementation of infection control measures to avoid ward closures1,2

The Solution
- Xpert Norovirus detects genotype I (GI) and genotype II (GII), which are responsible for the majority of infections
- Xpert Norovirus provides fast and actionable results for clinicians when it is needed most, to timely set up infection control initiative and optimized bed and patient management to reduce the spread of infection3
- On-demand identification supports outbreak management enabling fast contact tracing to manage onward transmission4

The Impact
Fast and accurate PCR testing with Xpert Norovirus greatly improves time to result compared to other PCR tests, allowing healthcare professionals to quickly identify, isolate and appropriately manage patients, helping prevent spread3:
- 89% decrease in turnaround time (22 h versus 2.4 h)5
- 66% reduction in unnecessary isolation6
- $320,209^ savings by preventing bed closures and unnecessary isolation6
