Rapid Test & Trace Canada Offers Strep A Tests for Fast Results

By: Get News

Calgary, Alberta - Rapid Test & Trace Canada, a renowned and growing provider of diagnostic solutions, offers a strep test that can rapidly detect group A streptococcal infections at the point of care or patient care settings.

“We’re excited to offer the Rapid Response Strep A Test to Canadians. Unfortunately, there was a record number of deaths from strep in 2023. The strep test kit we sell addresses a critical need for more efficient strep diagnosis so we can help healthcare providers deliver better care to their patients,” said co-founder Adam Singfield.

Strep symptoms resemble a lot of other infections and leave patients uncertain about what treatment they need. This can leave patients in limbo and cause unnecessary antibiotic use, potential complications, and an increased burden on the healthcare system.

The Rapid Response Strep A Test addresses these issues by eliminating the wait time, as well as the need to send the sample to external laboratories.

Authorized for professional use by Health Canada, people can administer this test and obtain the results within five minutes, allowing them to diagnose strep throat efficiently and promptly initiate appropriate treatment. Faster diagnosis and treatment can lead to improved patient experience and satisfaction. Early identification also helps prevent the spread of the infection to others.

Rapid Test & Trace Canada is committed to reselling quality testing products and holds a Health Canada Medical Device Establishment License (MDEL). The Rapid Response Strep A Tests, along with every other device sold on the company’s website, are stored in a temperature-controlled environment and regulated under the conditions of the MDEL.

While positive results from the test indicate the presence of strep A antigen, it doesn’t necessarily confirm the defined cause of the disease. Test results should be interpreted alongside the patient’s clinical presentation and other diagnostic findings to determine the infection status. Additionally, negative results should be treated as presumptive and confirmed with a molecular test if necessary for patient management. This approach helps reduce the risk of false negatives and ensures patients receive the timely and effective care they need.

By providing faster and more convenient strep testing, this test product can improve patient outcomes by enabling earlier diagnosis and treatment, reducing healthcare costs associated with unnecessary antibiotics and extended wait times. Offering a quicker, hassle-free, and smoother testing experience also enhancing patient satisfaction.

“At Rapid Test & Trace Canada, we’re always looking for ways to improve access to health tests,” says Singfield. “With our Strep A Test kit, we’re proud to offer a solution that improves diagnostic capabilities and enhances patient care and safety.”

For healthcare professionals seeking a reliable solution for the rapid diagnosis of streptococcal infections, the Rapid Response Strep A Test kit is a convenient and practical option. With its user-friendly and proven performance, this test is proving to be an important tool for infectious disease management.
