Results from LimitationRecognizer: We detected the following sentences addressing limitations in the study:Limitations: This research was conducted by using materials obtained from pre-selected frozen remnants, received after routine care. A study involving prospective collection would better inform on the positive and negative predictive values of the assay. Conclusions: The MAX SARS-CoV-2/Flu assays met US FDA-EUA acceptance criteria for SARS-CoV-2 and Flu A/B detection. Dual detection of the etiologic agents causing COVID-19 and influenza will allow differentiation for those exhibiting common symptoms between the two diseases. This assay should help optimize patient management by decreasing the time and resources required for dual testing. Ultimately, the dual detection method should facilitate an informed decision by physicians on the appropriate treatment for patients exhibiting similar symptoms between the two diseases.
