​
Not for routine diagnosis of viral syndrome illness. To be used in serious lower respiratory illness in urgent care/emergency room/intensive care settings. The FilmArray® Respiratory Panel is used for the qualitative detection and identification of multiple respiratory viral and bacterial nucleic acids in nasopharyngeal (NP) swabs from individuals with suspected respiratory tract infections.  The panel detects the following upper respiratory viruses and bacteria: Adenovirus, Coronavirus (229E, HKU1, NL63, OC43), (SARS-CoV2), Human Metapneumovirus, Influenza A (subtypes H1, H1-2009, H3), Influenza B, Parainfluenza virus 1, Parainfluenza virus 2, Parainfluenza virus 3, Parainfluenza virus 4, Human Rhinovirus/Enterovirus, Respiratory Syncytial virus, Bordetella pertussis, Bordetella parapertussis, Chlamydophila pneumoniae, and Mycoplasma pneumonia.

Test Information
The detection and identification of specific viral and bacterial nucleic acids from individuals exhibiting signs and symptoms of a respiratory infection aids in the diagnosis of respiratory infection if used in conjunction with other clinical and epidemiological information. The results of this test should not be used as the sole basis for diagnosis, treatment, or other management decisions.
 
Bordetella and SARS-CoV2 results are reported to the Wisconsin public health department.
