Pediatric Clinics 

When their children are sick, anxious parents want answers fast. Pediatric clinicians want diagnostic results that enable timely, informed treatment decisions—and get kids back to being kids. 

Pediatric Onsite Infectious Disease Testing

Being able to determine a causative pathogen for a child’s infection can help children avoid unnecessary antimicrobials and give parents confidence in a treatment plan. Diagnosing respiratory or gastrointestinal infections based on symptoms alone is difficult, if not impossible. Traditional diagnostic methods are time-consuming and may involve costly send-out tests. Onsite syndromic PCR testing gives clinicians the results they need to make timely, appropriate patient management decisions.

BIOFIRE® FILMARRAY® TORCH

For results that are fast and accurate, the BIOFIRE TORCH uses PCR technology to simultaneously test for a comprehensive grouping of targets in about an hour. For use in CLIA-moderate settings.
