BIOFIRE Respiratory Panel 2

Clinical Utility

BioFire Respiratory Panel 2 (RP2) is a qualitative test intended for simultaneous detection and identification of nucleic acids from multiple respiratory viruses and bacteria extracted from nasopharyngeal swabs collected from individuals with clinical signs and symptoms of a respiratory tract infection.

Improve Clinical Outcomes

BioFire RP results have been shown to significantly reduce ICU days and duration of antibiotic use. Optimize patient management with clinically actionable results.

Improve Economic Outcomes
