When complex cases demand a broader respiratory test, the BIOFIRE® Respiratory 2.1 (RP2.1) Panels identify up to 23 targets in ~45 minutes. Compared to standard-of-care rapid antigen testing, syndromic testing with BIOFIRE RP2.1 Panels are associated with 4 fewer days of antibiotic therapy, and may successfully identify more pathogens and detect more co-infections.1

When pneumonia is suspected, avoiding delays and uncertainty in the lab helps clinicians deliver timely therapy to vulnerable patients. With a higher sensitivity and diagnostic yield compared to standard-of-care testing methods, the BIOFIRE® FILMARRAY® Pneumonia (PN) Panels accurately and reliably identify up to 34 targets in ~1 hour. It’s been shown to detect 95.8% of bacteria, compared to 57.1% with standard-of-care testing.2
