McKesson 5003 Rapid Strep A Testing Kit is a diagnostic tool used to quickly and easily test for the presence of Streptococcus bacteria in a patient's throat. It is commonly used to diagnose strep throat, a contagious bacterial infection that affects the throat and tonsils.
The kit includes 25 test dipsticks, which are small strips coated with specific antibodies that react with the bacteria if present. The test is performed by collecting a throat swab specimen from the patient and then inserting it into the dipstick. Results can be read in as little as 5 minutes.
This kit is commonly used in healthcare settings, such as clinics and doctor's offices, to help healthcare providers make a quick and accurate diagnosis of strep throat and begin treatment as necessary. It is an important tool in helping to prevent the spread of this infection.
