Description

The Fastest Way to Better Results

The FILMARRAY is an FDA-cleared multiplex PCR system that integrates sample preparation, amplification, detection and analysis. It requires just a few minutes of hands-on-time and its turnaround time is just about an hour, giving you faster results which may lead to better patient care.

The FILMARRAY now has four FDA-cleared panels – the Respiratory Panel, the Blood Culture Identification Panel, the Gastrointestinal Panel, and the Meningitis/Encephalitis Panel. Together, these panels test for more than a hundred pathogens. Thus, FILMARRAY is not only the fastest way to better results; it’s the fastest way to more results.

BIOFIRE FILMARRAY® FEATURES

Set It Up In 2 Minutes

With minimal training and no precise pipetting required, in as little as 2 minutes, the patient sample is loaded into the pouch and placed into the system for an automated test.

Simplicity Is In The Software

The FILMARRAY Software walks you through the entire process—from sample to answer. When the run is complete, the software analyzes and reports results in a simple, easy-to-read format.

BIOFIRE FILMARRAY® USES

One Streamlined System

Many Applications

Diagnosing infectious diseases can be challenging. There are often countless possibilities and finding out what is making a patient sick often requires rapid answers so appropriate treatment decisions can be made. The FILMARRAY is an easy-to-use multiplex PCR system that can be used in complex diagnostic situations that require multiple answers in a critically short period of time:

  • Upper respiratory tract infections
  • Identification of organisms in positive blood cultures
  • Gastrointestinal infections
  • Meningitis/Encephalitis

The technology behind the FILMARRAY allows for the simultaneous detection of:

  • Viruses
  • Bacteria
  • Yeast
  • Parasites
  • Antimicrobial resistance genes

Whether trying to select appropriate therapy for a septic patient, or determining exactly which respiratory pathogen is making a young child sick, FILMARRAY can return answers fast.
