This SOP template has been developed by FIND for adaption and use in TB laboratories. Release date: ddMMMyy Page 1 of 8. Samples from each patient were tested using Ultra, Xpert MTB/RIF and culture. The study revealed that compared to culture the sensitivity of Ultra was 5% higher. than that of Xpert® MTB/RIF(% vs %) but specificity was % lower (% vs 98%).  · GeneXpert MTB RIF Manual. Basic Procedure: Collect sputum sample from the patient with suspected TB. The sputum is mixed with the reagent that is provided with the assay, and a cartridge containing this mixture is placed in the GeneXpert machine. All processing from this point on is fully automated.

Xpert MTB/Rif • A systematic review and meta-analysis was done by Steingart, et al in to assess the diagnostic accuracy of Xpert to detect rifampicin-resistance. The accompanying Xpert MTB/RIF implementation manual has been developed to replace the first edition and takes into consideration the current body of evidence and operational experiences available, in the context of the Policy update. The development of the Xpert ® MTB/RIF assay for the GeneXpert platform was completed in and is considered an important breakthrough in the fight against TB. For the first time, a molecular test is simple and robust enough to be introduced and used outside conventional laboratory settings. Xpert MTB/RIF detects M. tuberculosis as well as.
