## Recording results
Certain devices test for COVID-19, influenza A, and influenza B (“multiplex devices”). SimpleReport requires you to include flu results when you record tests from these devices. **At this time, flu results are not sent to public health departments other than the California Department of Public Health (CDPH)**, but you can share them with patients.

To record flu results on SimpleReport, [conduct and submit a test](https://www.simplereport.gov/using-simplereport/conduct-and-submit-tests/) as you normally would. You’ll be able to enter results for flu A and flu B, along with COVID-19, when you select a multiplex device.

Devices that test for flu and COVID-19 include:
## Reporting results
Organizations sending results to the California Department of Public Health (CDPH) can use [SimpleReport's bulk uploader](https://www.simplereport.gov/using-simplereport/report-test-results/bulk-upload-results/) to report positive flu tests. Report COVID-19, flu A, and flu B results all from a single spreadsheet. [See more information and guidance about reporting flu results](https://www.simplereport.gov/assets/resources/bulk_results_upload_guide-flu_pilot.pdf).

- CDC Influenza SARS-CoV-2 Multiplex Assay (RT-PCR)
- Abbott Alinity M (RT-PCR)
- BD Veritor System for Rapid Detection of SARS-CoV-2 & Flu A+B (Antigen)
- Quidel Sofia 2 (Antigen)
CDPH senders can also conduct and submit a flu test using one of the eight devices listed below, along with all multiplex devices. If you use another device to test for flu, please send information about it to [[email protected]](mailto:[email protected]).
- Abbott ID NOW Influenza A & B 2 Test
- Abbott BinaxNOW Influenza A & B Card 2 and DIGIVAL
- bioMerieux bioNexia Influenza A+B test
- DiaSorin Simplexa Flu A/B & RSV
- Quidel Lyra Influenza A+B
- Quidel Solana Influenza A+B
- Quidel Sofia Influenza A + B FIA
- Quidel QuickVue Influenza A + B

Flu reporting will be available in other jurisdictions soon.
