Abstract
We performed a retrospective (N=121) and prospective (N=305) verification of the Cepheid Xpert Flu assay to determine its performance characteristics. The overall sensitivity and specificity were 93% and 100%, respectively. Nasopharyngeal specimen sensitivities were 100% for seasonal influenza A/H1 and influenza A/H3, 90% for influenza A/2009/H1N1, and 95% for influenza B.
