At bioMérieux, we understand the need to keep up with the rapidly evolving infectious disease landscape. When we developed the BIOFIRE® 2.0 System, we ensured you got the best-in-class diagnostic technology. However, times have changed, and with it, the testing needs of labs and hospitals.
The BIOFIRE® FILMARRAY® TORCH System is everything the BIOFIRE 2.0 System is, but so much more. Built with modern challenges in mind, the BIOFIRE TORCH System could be an invaluable aid that takes molecular diagnostics and patient care to the next level. And for a limited time, you can receive the best value when you upgrade to BIOFIRE TORCH System.

Pneumonia patients are frequently given empiric, broad-spectrum antimicrobial therapy while awaiting diagnostic results. This can lead to overuse of antimicrobials. Diagnostic solutions from bioMérieux provide fast pathogen detection and support effective antimicrobial therapy management.
Fast and comprehensive, the BIOFIRE RP2.1 Panel identifies 22 of the most common respiratory pathogens, including SARS-CoV-2, influenza, and respiratory syncytial virus. Rapid respiratory results may enable better-informed diagnosis, treatment, and patient management decisions.
US FDA cleared
BIOFIRE® Respiratory 2.1 (RP2.1) Panel
1 Test. 22 Targets. ~45 Minutes.
VIDAS® B•R•A•H•M•S PCTTM
Procalcitonin (PCT) is a biomarker in the blood that indicates the presence of possible bacterial infection. In patients with bacterial pneumonia, PCT levels are typically elevated in tandem with the severity of the illness. On the other hand, PCT levels do not tend to rise significantly with viral infections or noninfectious inflammation. This makes PCT an especially useful tool for diagnosing and targeting treatment for patients with lower respiratory tract infections.
VIDAS B•R•A•H•M•S PCT is an innovative assay that tests for PCT levels in just 20 minutes. By delivering accurate results quickly, it can be used to help determine the best diagnostic and treatment options for patients who present with lower respiratory tract infections. Importantly, VIDAS B•R•A•H•M•S PCT has been cleared by the FDA to aid in decision making on safe antibiotic discontinuation for patients with suspected or confirmed lower respiratory tract infection.
BIOFIRE® FILMARRAY® Pneumonia (PN) Panel
1 Test. 33 Targets. ~1 Hour.
Pneumonia patients are frequently over-treated with antibiotics because it is difficult to quickly identify the pathogen responsible for their symptoms. The BIOFIRE PN Panel delivers fast, accurate pathogen identification in about one hour, which may allow physicians to put patients on appropriate therapy quicker.
