Copan Diagnostics has worked with infection-control and point-of-care providers to develop training videos and collection guides demonstrating proper technique for collecting respiratory specimens. Among the educational resources Copan has produced are a set of videos for the CDC and Joint Commission to be used in a Web-based course on influenza diagnosis and treatment in ambulatory settings.

The videos show proper technique for collecting respiratory specimens for influenza using swabs, aspirates, and washes. Demonstrations of nasal and nasopharyngeal swab sample collection use the company’s FloqSwabs and its Universal Transport Media. Additional videos demonstrate proper technique for nasal aspirates and nasal washes.
