Q

My hospital has an Abbott ID Now machine. The machine and the test kits are supplied to us by the state who, in turn, are supplied by FEMA.

I have noticed an increase in positive results on this platform vs what we have been getting on the Cepheid and Roche PCR platforms. And my initial concern was that there would be more false negatives.

Is this platform/supply chain compromised? Please advise. We can go back to what we were doing.
