The BIOFIRE® SPOTFIRE® Respiratory/Sore Throat Solution
"It’s super reliable and it’s super fast”
In this video, Maarten Moen, the Medical Director of the Dutch Olympic Team, shares his insights on the use of the syndromic panels of the BIOFIRE® SPOTFIRE® Respiratory Solution during the Paris 2024 Olympic Games. Learn about how the team could quickly isolate and treat respiratory infections, ensuring the athletes remained healthy and performed at their best. Scanning for 15 respiratory pathogens and with rapid results, the medical team could see “what’s going on” and maintain the team's peak performance throughout the games by helping to determine if the athletes were fit for competition and preventing the spread of infections within the team.
