The BioFire FilmArray Respiratory Panel (RP) tests for a comprehensive set of 20 respiratory viral and bacterial pathogens in about one hour. The BioFire RP identifies the most common viral and bacterial pathogens that cause respiratory tract infections that present with nearly indistinguishable symptoms. The rapid and accurate identification of the causative agent helps determine how a healthcare provider chooses to treat a respiratory tract infection.
The BioFire FilmArray Gastrointestinal (GI) Panel tests for a comprehensive set of 22 gastrointestinal pathogens. The BioFire GI Panel tests stool specimens for common pathogens associated with gastroenteritis. Quickly identifying the correct pathogen can ensure appropriate treatment, improve patient management, and help detect infectious gastroenteritis, which can lead to severe illness or death.
The BioFire FilmArray Meningitis/Encephalitis (ME) Panel tests for a comprehensive set of 14 bacteria, viruses, and yeast. The BioFire ME Panel identifies the most common viral, bacterial, and yeast pathogens that cause infections in the central nervous system, which in some cases can be life threatening. The diagnosis of meningitis and encephalitis can allow faster decisions on appropriate therapy to be made to prevent complications.
The BioFire FilmArray Pneumonia (PN) Panel identifies 33 clinically relevant targets from sputum (including endotracheal aspirate) and bronchoalveolar lavage (including mini-BAL) samples. For 15 of the bacteria, the BioFire PN Panel provides semi-quantitative results, which may help determine whether an organism is a colonizer or a pathogen. The test also determines a group of resistant genes to antimicrobial agents that help in choosing the appropriate treatment.
