What are the sensitivity, specificity and predictive values of the APTIMA Combo 2 assay?

0

In both the literature review of the assay and the method verification conducted by the State Laboratory, the sensitivity and specificity of the assay in the detection of both CT and GC approaches 100%. However, no test should ever be considered 100% sensitive or 100% specific. Laboratory tests aid the clinician in establishing a diagnosis but should never be the sole criteria used to establish a diagnosis.
