The BD Veritor System Strep A Test Kit (30 Tests/Kit) - CLIA-Waived offers a sensitivity of approximately 84–96% and specificity of 94–98% for Group A Streptococcus detection. While generally reliable, false positives and negatives can occur, so negative results—especially in children or with high clinical suspicion—should be confirmed with a throat culture for accurate diagnosis.
