The ARIES® C. difficile Assay is a real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) based qualitative in vitro diagnostic test for the direct detection of Clostridium difficile (C. difficile) nucleic acid in unformed (liquid or soft) stool specimens obtained from patients suspected of having Clostridium difficile infection (CDI).


Product Overview

The ARIES® C. difficile Assay is a real
ARIES® C. difficile Assay - 50-10018


Device Description

A collection of reagents and other associated materials intended to be used for the qualitative and/or quantitative detection of nucleic acid, including specific gene markers from Clostridium difficile bacteria in a clinical specimen and/or culture isolate, using a nucleic acid technique (NAT). Markers detected may include genes conferring antimicrobial resistance (e.g., gyrA gene), virulence (e.g., ribotype 027) and genes encoding toxin A and/or B.
