The BioFire® FilmArray® Respiratory Panel 2 plus (RP2plus) tests for 22 of the most common respiratory pathogens in less than 45 minutes.
1) Workflow Benefits
With minimum hands-on time required to run the BioFire RP2plus and a runtime of less than 45 minutes, samples can be tested as soon as they are obtained, avoiding delays in result reporting like those often observed with conventional, batched testing algorithms. Furthermore, a reduction in auxiliary testing was demonstrated in various studies.1
2) Clinical Benefits
Rapid identification of the causative pathogen of acute respiratory infections may lead to a reduction in antibiotic use2,3,4,5, improved infection control2, better use of neuraminidase inhibitors2,5 and a reduction in hospital length of stay2,3,4,5,6.
3) Economic Benefits
Testing with the BioFire RP2plus facilitates an increased percentage of results received while the patient is still in the emergency department5. This can impact the patient journey and lead to a reduction of unnecessary prescriptions, better patient management, and improved bed management7.
