STANDARD M10 MTB/NTM is a multiplex real-time PCR test intended for use with STANDARD M10 system for the qualitative detection of M. tuberculosis complex (MTBC), and non-tuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) nucleic acids in human normal sputum or sputum sediment sample. Positive results are indicative of the presence of MTBC, and/or NTM; clinical correlation with patient history and other diagnostic information is necessary to determine patient infection status. Negative results must be combined with clinical observations, patient history, and epidemiological information.
