The Need
- Each day, more than 3,400 people lose their lives to TB and nearly 30,000 people fall ill with this preventable and curable disease1
- In the United States, 22% of people affected by TB are still not diagnosed by the WHO-recommended rapid diagnostic test1
- Precise and early detection of TB is needed to improve case management and significantly enhance the prevention of TB transmission2

The Solution
The Xpert MTB/RIF test provides fast and accurate detection of Mycobacterium Tuberculosis (MTB) and Rifampicin (RIF) resistance simultaneously from patient samples
- Simple three-step process with results in less than 2 hours
- Designed to provide the most accurate MTB and Rifampicin detection
- On-demand capability that empowers physicians to manage patients effectively
The Impact
- Early detection of MTB and resistance to Rifampicin enables faster access to the most appropriate treatment for better patient outcomes3
- Significantly reduces AII (airborne infection isolation) duration compared to the smear microscopy3
- Implementation is highly cost-effective for diagnosing pulmonary TB in the United States4
