ABSTRACT
During the multiple waves of COVID-19 suffered all over the world, having a rapid and sensitive diagnostic test has be come a priority for microbiology laboratories. The AptimaTM SARS-CoV-2 transcription-mediated amplification (TMA) assay running on the Panther system (Hologic) was presented as a very good option to cover this need. To evaluate this system, 570 respiratory samples were included in the study and were processed both by the Panther (Hologic) system and by qRT PCR (Thermo Fisher Science, Waltham, USA), current assay for the diagnosis of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavi rus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). A high number of false positives (n=76) was obtained with Panther system (Hologic), but the number of false positives decreases as the relative light units (RLU) val ue increases. These results show that this technique can be a good option for sample screening but checking for positive results should be mandatory, especially those with low RLU values (AU)
RESUMEN
Durante las múltiples oleadas de COVID-19 sufridas en todo el mundo, disponer de una prueba diagnóstica rápida y sensible se ha convertido en una prioridad para los laborato transcripción (TMA) AptimaTM SARS-CoV-2 que se ejecuta en el sistema Panther (Hologic) se presentó como una muy bue na opción para cubrir esta necesidad. Para evaluar este sis tema, se incluyeron en el estudio 570 muestras respiratorias y se procesaron tanto por el sistema Panther (Hologic) como por qRT-PCR (Thermo Fisher Science, Waltham, EE. UU.), téc nica utilizada actualmente para el diagnóstico del síndrome respiratorio agudo severo por coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). Se obtuvo un alto número de falsos positivos (n=76) con el sistema Panther (Hologic), pero el número de falsos positivos disminuye a medida que aumenta el valor de las unidades re lativas de luz (RLU). Estos resultados muestran que esta técnica puede ser una buena opción como técnica de screening, pero la verificación de resultados positivos debería ser obligatoria, especialmente aquellos con valores bajos de RLU (AU)
