QIAstat-Dx Respiratory Panel V2 (RP) is a novel molecular-method-based syndromic test for the simultaneous and rapid (∼70-min) detection of 18 viral and 3 bacterial pathogens causing respiratory infections. This report describes the first multicenter retrospective comparison of the performance of the QIAstat-Dx RP assay to the established ePlex Respiratory Pathogen Panel (RPP) assay, for which we used 287 respiratory samples from patients suspected with respiratory infections. The QIAstat-Dx RP assay detected 312 (92%) of the 338 respiratory targets that were detected by the ePlex RPP assay.
