Interpretive Data: This test is performed pursuant to a license agreement with Roche Molecular Systems, Inc.

Refer to Statement B under Testing Information at http://www.aruplab.com.
Note: This test detects H275Y, a single-point mutation in the neuraminidase gene of 2009 H1N1 influenza A, which is known to confer resistance to oseltamivir. This test will not detect the H275Y mutation in other influenza A strains. Prior to ordering this test, the patient should have tested positive for 2009 H1N1. This test is not intended for disease detection or for typing of influenza A strains.
