POOLED SURVEILLANCE TESTING
Ultra-Affordable Pooled Surveillance testing with easy saliva collection.
For schools to return to on-site classes in the era of COVID-19, grouping tests into pools for surveillance is a common-sense approach. PathogenDx offers a turnkey regimen to detect the SARS-CoV-2 virus as well as influenza—and a simple saliva collection stick makes it easy. Let us explain an early warning system that’s safe, proven and can fit within school budgets.
NOTE: POOLED SURVEILLANCE TESTING DOES NOT PROVIDE INDIVIDUAL RESULTS AND IS NOT INTENDED FOR MEDICAL DIAGNOSTIC USE.

Data shows that one positive carrier can spread COVID-19, cold or to eight others—making preventative pooled surveillance testing a must.

PATHOGENDx SURVEILLANCE TEST:
Simple Saliva Collection: Unlike testing with uncomfortable nasopharyngeal swabs, PathogenDx utilizes a simple stick that makes samples collection fast and easy. With no sacrifice in detecting the SARS-CoV-2 virus in pools.
Pooled Surveillance makes testing affordable for schools
Samples are submitted to a PathogenDx partner lab for rapid testing.
Saliva samples are collected quickly, without discomfort and inconvenience.
Get results in 6 hours or less. Those in a “positive” pool take individual tests, and quarantine.
HOW DO YOU GET STARTED? WE CAN HELP.
PathogenDx can partner with your school to institute a Pooled Surveillance Testing Program that recognizes the need for community safety and budget efficiency.
Environmental monitoring

Environmental Monitoring is needed now—sampling surface swabbing on a regular basis for detection of the COVID-19 virus and other viruses. Monitor proactively, ease minds with a protocol that has benefits for schools and communities at this critical time.
• Advanced laboratory testing combined with best-in-class surface swab collection technology.
• Easily test surfaces, door handles, desks, lockers and common areas.
• Receive results within 6 hours and share with parents, teachers, students and staff.
• Ensure rigorous disinfection of positive areas to minimize contamination and spread.
PothogenDx screening delivers both economies of scale and the kind of ease that enables fast, efficient testing of schools—thwarting the spread of illness.
Case Story: Testing for Tribal Nations
Through regular, affordable surface swabbing and fast, reliable testing, PathogenDx Environmental Monitoring is now helping to protect multiple tribal nations across the US. PathogenDx is identifying the virus in their environments and keeping their members safe. Proven reliability puts your community on the path to added safety and peace of mind.
A screening protocol in four steps
1. Swabbing: Each week, a new area is swabbed—surfaces, handles, etc—to provide an early warning that can inform prevention.
2. Send: Samples to be sent to a recommended local lab for analysis. Shipping materials are provided for ease.
3. Test: Samples are analyzed. If result is a positive, the school can be closed, areas sanitized and students and staff sent for individual tests.
4. Quarantine: Those with positive results are isolated and quarantined. Classes can soon resume and the process repeated as needed.
