The new guidance will make it easier for healthcare professionals to request a key diagnostic procedure, helping to improve services for patients.

In addition to the test's high specificity, the use of two samples ensures that the diagnostic procedure has a high (99%) test sensitivity as well.

Even during an already ongoing diagnostic procedure, there can be an indication to perform another, separate, diagnostic procedure for another, potentially concomitant, disease or condition.

This can also enhance the quality of the maintenance since it tends to be supported by repair history and high-level diagnostic procedure decisions.

At a later, less acute, situation, there may be a switch to a more comprehensive differential diagnostic procedure.
