The BIOFIRE SPOTFIRE Respiratory/Sore Throat (R/ST) Panel Mini from bioMérieux has received US FDA Special 510(k) clearance and CLIA-waiver status. Because more tests are carried out outside hospital labs and directly in emergency departments (ED) or at the point of care (POC), this fast and innovative syndromic testing solution can help meet the need for healthcare professionals to complete diagnostic tests close to the patient and to provide actionable results quickly.
