Right now we use the SOFIA RSV test for our pediatric population. I have seen that the Quidel Quickvue RSV kit can be used for ages up to 18. Is there a test/kit that can be used for ages over 18?

Abbott ID NOW RSV can be used up to 18 yo or 65+ yo (not 19-64 though).
Abbott Alere ID NOW RSV is intended for use as an aid in the diagnosis of RSV in children <18 years and adults ≥60 years old so no testing for patients 19-59.
