What is Suction Tip for GeneXpert(MTB)?
A suction tip for GeneXpert (MTB) test is used to collect respiratory samples from patients who cannot produce sputum, often in severe or critically ill cases. The sample is obtained through suctioning from the airways, such as via an endotracheal tube or bronchoalveolar lavage.
The collected fluid is then tested using the GeneXpert MTB/RIF system, which rapidly detects Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) and rifampicin resistance, indicating possible multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB). Results are available within hours, aiding timely diagnosis and treatment decisions.
