test provides the
complete diagnostic picture
unlike any other standalone
test. Incoming samples are
simultaneously tested for
GDH and Toxins A & B as
recommended by the updated
ESCMID Guidelines,

providing
actionable C. difcile results
in less than 30 minutes.

Updated ESCMID guidelines

Optional toxigenic
culture or NAAT test
• Against the use of a single rapid test as a standalone
test, due to inadequate positive predictive value.
• The use of a 2-step algorithm starting with either
GDH EIA or NAAT. Samples with a negative rst test
result can be reported as negative. Samples with a
positive rst test result should be tested further
with a Toxin A & B EIA.
• Or screen samples simultaneously with both a
GDH and toxin A/B EIA with an assay that includes
both these targets in one system (C. DIFF QUIK
CHEK COMPLETE
