THE FILMARRAY®: STREAMLINING LAB PROCESSES WITH SYNDROMIC TESTING

By using a molecular syndromic approach and a broad test menu, the FilmArray can better detect and identify the infectious agent with just one easy test. Because of its ease-of-use, the same standard of care can be provided 24/7, removing the need to delay or send out certain tests.

The FilmArray System has set a new standard in molecular diagnostic platforms featuring:

  • Unmatched usability and speed
  • Comprehensive panels
  • Results in about 60 minutes
  • Physicians get answers sooner 
  • Laboratories maximize productivity and reduce costs

FilmArray Is Easy

Simply prepare a FilmArray test with two minutes of hands-on time without precise measuring or pipetting. The sample is automatically analyzed and results reported in an easy-to-read format.

FilmArray Is Fast

The FilmArray has a run-time of about an hour, allowing labs to provide answers to physicians in a clinically relevant time frame.

FilmArray Is Comprehensive

Comprehensive syndromic testing allows labs to streamline their workflow and provide answers to physicians with an increased diagnostic yield. This comprehensive test system helps to detect co-infections as well as uncommon pathogens.


User-friendly Multiplex PCR

The FilmArray System has set a new standard in molecular diagnostic platforms featuring:

Unmatched usability and speed
Comprehensive panels
Results in about 60 minutes
Physicians get answers sooner
Laboratories maximize productivity and reduce costs

 

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.

To see a full list of organisms identified please see the Specifications section for panel information.

The FilmArray is available in two formats.  The single sample unit: FilmArray 2.0, and the Torch which is modular and can be scaled to suit the throughput of your laboratory with up to 12 panels being run at once.

There are four panels available for the BioFire FilmArray

Respiratory Panel: 20 TARGETS IN ONE TEST

The FilmArray® Respiratory Panel (RP) tests for a comprehensive set of 20 respiratory viral and bacterial pathogens in about an hour. The Respiratory Panel identifies the most common viral and bacterial pathogens that cause respiratory tract infections that present with nearly indistinguishable symptoms. The rapid and accurate identification of the causative agent helps determine how a healthcare provider chooses to treat an upper respiratory tract infection.

RESPIRATORY PANEL MENU

VIRUSES:

  • Adenovirus
  • Coronavirus HKU1
  • Coronavirus NL63
  • Coronavirus 229E
  • Coronavirus OC43

Blood Culture Identification: 27 TARGETS IN ONE TEST

The FilmArray® Blood Culture Identification (BCID) Panel tests for a comprehensive set of 24 gram positive, gram negative and yeast pathogens and 3 antibiotic resistance genes associated with bloodstream infections. The BCID Panel detects and identifies the most common causes of bloodstream infections. Quickly identifying the cause of sepsis may help clinicians more rapidly and appropriately manage septic patient therapy. Rapid identification of bloodstream pathogens may help reduce the time to appropriate antimicrobial therapy and positively impact patient survival.
