Our outpatient clinic offices are using the Sofia 2 for FLU+SARS ag FIA testing and a question came up about required PPE for performing testing.  Can anyone who uses this test share what PPE you require at your facility for performing this test?  Thank you!

Hello
Our Clinics and Primary Care Practices minimum PPE: Surgical Mask and gloves.
Staff are offered eye protection and have access to N95 masks.
Currently, having a significant community surge in Flu/COVID/RSV, so our organization has moved to mandatory masking in patient forward areas.
We run the Quidel Combo tests, too.
Hope this helps

Our staff uses gloves, lab coats and face shields.  We also provide optional N95 masks and goggles if they would like.
