    SalivIQ™ Strep A is a non-invasive, point-of-care saliva strep test delivering 100% accuracy using next-generation PCR technology in just 22 minutes.

    SalivIQ Diagnostics is transforming the diagnosis of strep throat infection with SalivIQ™ Strep A — the only saliva-based molecular diagnostic test designed to deliver rapid and highly reliable results at the point of care.

    Traditional rapid strep tests have been used for over 40 years but are widely known for their low sensitivity and high false-negative rates. As a result, millions of patients with pharyngitis are either misdiagnosed or unnecessarily prescribed antibiotics. In fact, although only 25% of sore throat cases require antibiotics, nearly 50% of patients receive them due to inaccurate testing methods.

    SalivIQ™ Strep A solves this problem through non-invasive strep detection using saliva instead of painful throat swabs. Powered by next-generation quantitative PCR (qPCR) technology, the test accurately detects Group A Streptococcus bacteria directly from saliva samples in as little as 22 minutes.

    i am in agreement with either case. Activation of EMS is the right way to go especially if unsure

    We deal with the public as BLS provider. My guess is that when a person comes in contact with this substance, there’s an urgent need to water flush, call for help and send to the emerge as the investigation itself indicates several victims end up in a facility such as hospital.

    The movement of the victim is a serious contributor to cardiac failure. Before gaining ROSC, it is recommended to keep the victim in the flat position and make minimal movement.

    sounds good. The only suggestion is that the main checking point is the victim before checking the device.

    mental status sounds like a medical word and instead unconscious or abnormal behaviour will be more appropriate.
