Buy combination tests: Influenza A/B, RSV and Corona test.

Combination rapid tests, also known as multiplex tests or antigen combination tests, are innovative diagnostic tests that enable the detection of several different pathogens in a single sample.
These tests are usually available as rapid tests for home use or as professional tests and can test simultaneously for influenza (influenza A and B), RSV (respiratory syncytial virus) and COVID-19 (corona), for example.
They are an efficient tool for quickly gaining clarity about the possible cause of cold symptoms.

What are combination rapid tests used for?

Combination rapid tests are used to quickly and easily differentiate between various respiratory diseases that can cause similar symptoms. This is particularly relevant in the cold and flu season, when flu, RSV and corona circulate simultaneously. The main areas of application are

  • Clarification of cold symptoms: In the case of symptoms such as cough, cold, fever or sore throat, combination tests help to quickly identify the cause.
  • Differential diagnosis: Differentiation between influenza, RSV, corona and other respiratory diseases in order to initiate the correct treatment.
  • Preventive measures: Regular testing to break chains of infection, especially in sensitive areas such as families, schools, daycare centers, care facilities and businesses.
  • Events and travel: Increased safety at events or when traveling through prior testing.

Advantages of combined rapid tests

Combination rapid tests offer decisive advantages over individual tests, making them a practical and efficient solution for the diagnosis of respiratory diseases:

Time savings and efficiency

You can detect several pathogens at the same time with a single test. This saves time and effort compared to carrying out several individual tests.

Cost efficiency

As a rule, combined tests are more cost-effective than the sum of the individual tests for the same pathogens.

Comprehensive diagnosis

You get a more comprehensive picture of the possible cause of your symptoms and can take more targeted action.

Easy to use

Combination rapid tests are generally easy to use and can be carried out conveniently at home or on site.

What types of combination rapid tests are available?

At Parahealth you will find a wide range of combination rapid tests that are tailored to different needs:

  • 2-in-1 tests (corona & influenza): Combine the detection of COVID-19 and influenza A/B. Ideal for rapid clarification of the most common respiratory diseases.
  • 3-in-1 tests (corona, influenza & RSV): Extend the scope of the test to include the detection of RSV, particularly relevant for children and the elderly.
  • 4-in-1 tests (Corona, Influenza A/B & RSV): Comprehensive test option that covers all major respiratory pathogens in one test.
  • Combination tests from various brands: We stock combi tests from renowned manufacturers such as Safecare, REALY and Cordx, which are known for their quality and reliability.

When making your selection, pay attention to the desired test scope (number of pathogens detected) and the type of sample collection (nasal, throat or spit test) that is most convenient for you.

When are combined rapid tests useful?

Combination rapid tests are particularly useful in the following situations:

  • For cold symptoms during the cold and flu season: To quickly clarify whether it is the flu, RSV or corona and take appropriate measures.
  • Before visiting risk groups: To protect elderly or immunocompromised persons from possible infection.
  • In community facilities (schools, daycare centers, nursing homes): To detect outbreaks at an early stage and break chains of infection.
  • For families with children: RSV is particularly dangerous for infants and young children. A combined test can quickly provide clarity.
  • For people who have a lot of contact with other people at work: To protect yourself and others and minimize absences from work.

Tips for using influenza tests and other combination tests

For reliable results and correct use of combination rapid tests, please note the following tips:

  • Read the instructions for use carefully: Each test may have slightly different instructions. Follow the enclosed instructions from the manufacturer step by step.
  • Correct sample collection: Ensure that the nasal, throat or spit swab is carried out correctly in accordance with the instructions.
  • Observe the test time: Read the result within the specified time window (usually 15-30 minutes). A later reading can lead to incorrect results.
  • Hygienic performance: Perform the test on a clean surface and wash or disinfect your hands before and after the test.
  • Have a positive result confirmed: In the event of a positive result, we recommend having this confirmed by a PCR test at the doctor's or test center.
