The Xpert® GI Panel is designed to bring clarity and speed to the diagnosis of infectious gastroenteritis—an illness that remains a leading cause of morbidity, mortality, and healthcare visits¹. Because bacterial, viral, and parasitic pathogens often present with similar symptoms, clinicians can struggle to distinguish between infectious etiologies based on clinical presentation alone¹. Traditional diagnostic methods add further complexity, as they are frequently time‑consuming, costly, and limited in sensitivity². Fast, accurate detection is essential to guide appropriate therapy and support infection control and epidemiologic measures that help reduce or prevent the spread of disease¹.
Built to address these challenges, the Xpert® GI Panel delivers quick, actionable, and accurate results in approximately 74 minutes, helping clinicians make timely decisions that support better patient management. Its standardized, streamlined workflow is clinically tailored to identify common pathogens associated with suspected gastrointestinal infection³⁻⁴, reducing unnecessary testing and medical procedures while enabling earlier, appropriate interventions²⁻⁵. This combination of speed, simplicity, and reliability reflects a practical solution for improving care in settings where rapid clarity matters.
The panel’s targeted, mid‑plex design captures meaningful proportions of clinically relevant pathogens while reducing over‑ or co‑detection of organisms with limited clinical significance⁶. By focusing on the pathogens that matter most, the Xpert® GI Panel supports confident interpretation and minimizes diagnostic ambiguity—helping clinicians act decisively and efficiently when managing suspected infectious gastroenteritis.
