Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Treatment: Devices - Respirio Flu Test
Treatment: Devices - eLab Flu Test
Treatment: Devices - Reverse Transcriptase Polymerase Chain Reaction (RT-PCR)

Experimental: Respirio Flu Test and eLab Flu Test - Upper respiratory tract samples from participants will be tested with:
Respirio Flu Test; eLab Flu Test; and Reverse Transcriptase Polymerase Chain Reaction (RT-PCR)


Treatment: Devices: Respirio Flu Test
The Respirio Flu Test is a rapid in vitro diagnostic test for the detection of influenza A or influenza B in nasal secretions. The Respirio Flu Test is designed to be simple to use and generates a result within 20 minutes.

Treatment: Devices: eLab Flu Test
The eLab Flu Test is an in vitro diagnostic test intended to be used at point-of-care for the detection of influenza A or influenza B in nasopharyngeal swab samples. The eLab Flu Test generates a result within 10 minutes.

Treatment: Devices: Reverse Transcriptase Polymerase Chain Reaction (RT-PCR)
Reverse Transcriptase Polymerase Chain Reaction (RT-PCR) is a molecular diagnostic technique for the detection and identification of influenza viruses, both for clinical samples and isolates. The reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) allows template viral RNA to be reverse transcribed producing complementary DNA (cDNA) which can then be amplified and detected.

Summary
Brief summary
The primary purpose of this study is to validate the sensitivity and specificity of the
Respirio Flu Test and the eLab Flu Test in detecting Influenza A as compared to the gold
standard for detection, Reverse Transcriptase Polymerase Chain Reaction (RT-PCR).

The secondary aims are to:

Validate the sensitivity and specificity of the Respirio Flu Test and the eLab Flu Test in
detecting Influenza B as compared to the gold standard for detection, Reverse Transcriptase
Polymerase Chain Reaction (RT-PCR); Evaluate the correct interpretation of the Respirio Flu
Test by subjects with influenza-like symptoms; Evaluate the subjects' satisfaction with the
convenience, comfort and ease of use of the Respirio Flu Test.
