Xpert - Model MRSA NxG - Active MRSA Surveillance Test Kit

Control of MRSA in healthcare settings requires rapid and accurate tests to detect colonized patients.

• Approximately 171,200 healthcare-associated MRSA infections are acquired annually in the European Union (EU), resulting in 5,400 attributable deaths, more than 1 million excess days of hospitalization and € 380 million in excess in-hospital costs¹
• Between 2 and 53 million people are estimated to carry MRSA worldwide²
• The average length of stay (LOS) for all MRSA patients in the EU is 11.5 days with an average attributable cost of €7,478 per patient³

Xpert^® MRSA NxG is an accurate, fast, on-demand PCR test that will help to:

• Optimize the effectiveness of your infection control program and guide the judicious use of barrier precautions
• Guide decolonization practices that reduce infection rates and decrease MRSA transmission
• Help decrease LOS and improve patient and bed management
• Help reduce infection control costs by limiting unnecessary use of isolation rooms and improve clinical outcomes
• Detect the presence of MRSA by targeting both the orfX SCCmec junction and the mecA or mecC genes for a more accurate MRSA detection
• Improve antibiotic stewardship by avoiding unnecessary
