What does a COVID-RSV test check for? Insight into combo testing for respiratory infections
Several respiratory viruses such as COVID-19, influenza and RSV share symptoms – fever, cough, fatigue – and it can be difficult to know what you have. BIOSYNEX Combo COVID-FLU-RSV BSS provides a rapid answer in a single test and helps distinguish between types of infection.
What is BIOSYNEX Combo COVID-FLU-RSV BSS?
It is an advanced combination test that detects antigens from:
- SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19)
- Influenza A and B
- RSV (respiratory syncytial virus)
The test uses a nasopharyngeal sample (deep nasal swab) and provides a result in just 10 minutes. It is ideal for periods of high transmission.
Why test for RSV?
RSV is particularly dangerous for infants, older adults, and people with weakened immune systems. Symptoms can resemble flu or COVID-19, but require different treatment and management.
Benefits of this COVID-RSV combo test
- One test – four viral infections
- Rapid readout in 10 minutes
- Easy sampling and interpretation
- Suitable for both private individuals and healthcare professionals

- Tilsæt 3 dråber prøvevæske til testkassetten
- Read the result after 10 minutes
When should you take a combo test?
