FilmArray Multiplex PCR System panels listed

FilmArray Multiplex PCR System panels listed

• A. Blood culture identification (BCID) panel, GI panel, respiratory panel, meningitis/encephalitis (ME) panel
• B. Blood culture identification panel only
• C. GI panel only
• D. ME panel only

Answer: (A)

FilmArray is built to run multiple syndromic panels that cover common clinical presentations. The best choice lists all four major panels the system offers: blood culture identification, gastrointestinal pathogens, respiratory pathogens, and meningitis/encephalitis pathogens. This reflects how the platform is used to rapidly identify pathogens from different specimen types to guide timely treatment. The other options mention only a single panel, which doesn’t capture the full range of panels available on the system.
