FilmArray: The right test, the first time
FilmArray Clinical Value
Many infections present with similar signs and symptoms. But today’s targeted infectious disease diagnostics limit testing to only the most common pathogens associated with a clinical syndrome. This leaves most infections undiagnosed and leads to additional downstream testing, patient dissatisfaction and compromised patient care. By using a molecular syndromic approach and a broad test menu, the FilmArray can better detect and identify the infectious agent with just one easy diagnostic test.
Get Faster Results
The FilmArray helps healthcare providers deliver proper treatment and reduce patient hospital stays by providing fast and accurate pathogen identification. With a one hour turnaround time, clinicians can make vital decisions regarding hospital admission, isolation, cohorting, antiviral or antibiotic therapy and additional diagnostic testing.
Get Better Results
FilmArray syndromic approach increases the probability of identifying a pathogen in patients with symptoms of an infectious disease and increases capability of detection of co-infections.
Diagnose a Respiratory Infection with FilmArray RP
Hospitals face a very lare burden from a variety of respiratory tract infections, which can be very expensive and difficult to diagnose.
FilmArray Repiratory Panel (RP) can dramatically reduce time to diagnostis compared to traditionnal testing methods.
Testing a comprehensive set of 20 viral and bacterial respiratory pathogens in about an hour, it is the most appropriate treatment in a clinically actionnable timeframe.
FilmArray in Singapore
Originally from the USA, the FilmArray technology is now used worldwide with 4000 units installed around the globe.
Unveiled in Europe at the 2014 European Congress of Clinical Microbiology and Infectious Diseases (ECCMID), the FilmArray solution has since been adopted by a critical number of hospitals in Singapore.
The significant benefits of the system and bioMérieux ‘s acknowledged expertise in the field of Infectious Diseases proved to be key assets for the decision makers.
In April 2015, the first FilmArray® instrument in south east asia was installed in Singapore for testing of respiratory viruses and bacteria. There are currently five FDA-cleared FilmArray panels test for viruses, bacteria, parasites, yeast and antimicrobial resistance genes: Respiratory, Blood Culture ID, Gastrointestinal and Meningitis. FilmArray is also used for biothreat detection and pandemic biosurveillance, including Ebola virus identification.
