The SPOTFIRE® R Panel runs on the BIOFIRE® SPOTFIRE® System—an easy-to-use, CLIA-waived system with a small, vertically scalable footprint.

Answers in the Time of COVID-19

The COVID-19 pandemic introduced the general public to PCR testing and its superior accuracy compared to rapid antigen testing. When patients are sick with a respiratory tract infection, negative results from a rapid antigen test, or results from molecular assay that only targets one pathogen such as COVID-19, influenza, or RSV, may leave lingering questions. Are the results accurate? If the results are accurate and negative, what’s causing the infection? If the results are positive and accurate, how can you be sure that there isn’t a coinfection? You can alleviate these questions by using the right test, the first time.

Now, more than ever, a respiratory illness requires people to make decisions about staying home from work, rescheduling social engagements, or keeping kids home from school. Fast PCR results from the SPOTFIRE R Panel’s expanded menu of respiratory pathogen targets offers the greatest chance at giving healthcare providers and their patients answers they can rely on.

Strengthen Patient Experience While Streamlining Operations

In addition to giving patients peace of mind, the fast, accurate answers provided by the SPOTFIRE® R Panel may also help improve patient satisfaction overall. Comprehensive results in about 15 minutes may eliminate the need for follow-up appointments and additional swabbing and testing, all adding to patient comfort, convenience, and satisfaction.

The SPOTFIRE® System can also help streamline clinic operations, with fewer follow-up appointments, a reduced need for callbacks, and less send-out testing. The SPOTFIRE® R Panel on the SPOTFIRE® System can be run by any healthcare professional in most settings.

Custom-fit to Your Clinic’s Needs

The SPOTFIRE® System was designed to meet the unique needs of outpatient clinics. The system requires minimal bench-top space and can scale vertically up to four modules. The system can run four samples at a time—up to 104 samples each 8-hour shift*—with four modules. Easy to use, the SPOTFIRE® System offers a streamlined workflow and an intuitive user interface. Users of all skill levels can prepare and run samples on the SPOTFIRE® System.
