BIOFIRE® Joint Infection (JI) Panel
1 Test. 39 Targets. ~ 1 Hour.
Mitigate the challenges of diagnosing septic arthritis and prosthetic joint infections with comprehensive results on a menu of 31 causative pathogens and eight antimicrobial resistance markers.
A New Kind of Joint Infection Testing
Joint infections are difficult to diagnose due, in part, to a lack of standardized testing methods and unreliable results from culture.1 Delayed diagnosis is associated with permanent disability and increased mortality (up to 15%).2 The BIOFIRE JI Panel meets these challenges with the syndromic approach, combining 39 targets on one test that produces a single, comprehensive report.
The Power Behind the Panel
The BIOFIRE JI Panel can provide the essential combination of speed, accuracy, and comprehensiveness to enable a fast, definitive identification of a pathogen.
How the BIOFIRE JI Panel Helps
The BIOFIRE JI Panel enhances joint infection diagnostics by providing reliable results and detecting a range of pathogens and antimicrobial resistance gene targets. Its ability to identify co-detections may contribute to more informed patient management, facilitating quicker and more effective treatment decisions.
The Joint Infection Testing Menu
Discover the 39 targets on the BIOFIRE JI Panel, including gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria, yeast, and antimicrobial resistance genes commonly associated with joint infections.
Sample Type
0.2 mL of synovial fluid
Performance
Overall 91.7% sensitivity and 99.8% specificity3
Syndromic Testing Made Simple
The BIOFIRE® FILMARRAY® Systems run syndromic infectious disease tests. One multiplex assay simultaneously tests for the most common pathogens and antimicrobial resistance genes associated with a particular syndrome.
The BIOFIRE® FILMARRAY® TORCH System
The BIOFIRE TORCH System uses multiplex PCR technology to simultaneously test for a comprehensive grouping of targets in about an hour.
