Simple, comprehensive joint infection testing

The BIOFIRE® Joint Infection (JI) Panel tests for a comprehensive grouping of 29 gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria, 2 yeast, and 8 antimicrobial resistance genes commonly associated with joint infections.

  • Fast: Turnaround time of about 1 hours
  • Simple: 2 minutes of hands-on time
  • Broad Panel Menu: Simultaneously tests for 39 targets

The BIOFIRE® JI Panel is one of six FDA-cleared and/or CE-marked panels for use on the BIOFIRE® multiplex PCR system.  Taken together, the six BIOFIRE® panels comprise the largest infectious disease pathogen menu commercially available.  The other panels are:

 

Detects more targets in less time

The BIOFIRE JI Panel identifies 39 pathogens and antimicrobial resistance markers at the molecular level, encompassing the common causes of joint infections.  It is not impacted by prior antibiotic use and targets difficult-to-grow anaerobes and fastidious organisms.

Compared to conventional methods, it can help facilitate increased diagnostic yield and improved polymicrobial detection

Eliminate the guesswork

Conventional testing for joint infections is complex, often requiring multiple patient samples, various send-out tests, and days of waiting for results. The BIOFIRE JI Panel is a rapid syndromic test that delivers comprehensive results in one easy-to-read report.

Using PCR technology, the BIOFIRE JI Panel offers a rapid sample-to-answer turnaround without sacrificing performance.
