BioFire® FilmArray® Pneumonia (PN) Panel
When it comes to pneumonia, it is often difficult to pin down the cause of infection using traditional methods. The BioFire® FilmArray® Pneumonia (PN) Panel is more sensitive and comprehensive than standard-of-care culture. One syndromic test, one patient sample, and about an hour are all it takes to deliver actionable answers.
- Identifies 33 clinically relevant viruses, bacteria, and antimicrobial resistance genes
- Semi-quantitative results on 15 bacteria can help determine if a detected organism is causing the infection
- Can be used to test sputum (including endotracheal aspirate) and bronchoalveolar lavage (including mini-BAL) samples
- Pathogen-specific results can lead to antibiotic de-escalation and help physicians put patients on optimal therapy sooner
