Don’t Guess. Know: The Syndromic Approach is More Important than Ever.
SARS-CoV-2 is a top concern for patients and clinicians, but several pathogens can cause nearly indistinguishable respiratory symptoms. BioFire’s syndromic approach combines a broad grouping of probable pathogens into a single, rapid test. With the BioFire RP2.1plus Panel, all it takes is one test and just 45 minutes to identify 23 respiratory pathogens, including SARS-CoV-2.
Less than 10% of all COVID-19 tests in the US have been positive.2 And influenza accounts for less than one-third of detected respiratory pathogens, even during peak “flu season.”3 A comprehensive panel that includes viruses and bacteria can help deliver fast answers and fewer missed detections.
