How the SPOTFIRE R/ST Panels Help
Rapid PCR testing for respiratory and sore throat infections has the potential to benefit not only the patients you care for, but also to enhance your clinic's operations and improve the quality of diagnostic results you provide.
Inform Clinical Decisions
Contrary to tests that only detect the flu, SARS-COV-2, and/or RSV, a syndromic panel provides a fuller picture that may help inform patient management decisions.
Optimize Operations
The simplified workflow and quick turnaround time enable rapid and accurate answers during the patient visit, potentially reducing the need for callbacks and send-out testing.
Optimize Antimicrobial Stewardship
Receiving comprehensive results within a clinically actionable timeframe may inform diagnoses and antimicrobial prescribing.
