Abbott ACT cartridge shortage

CT/NG Waived Testing for Youth Ages 12-25

I am looking for a CT/NG POC testing platform for youth ages 12-25. I have some adolescent clinics interested in bringing POC testing for this age group. The binx system is not approved for females under 16 years old and males under 17 years old and the Liat cannot be used for kids under 15 years of age. If you are using a platform for this age group or know of one, please let me know.

Kellie
