🟢We have introduced the BioFire® SpotFire®, a fully automated genetic analysis system capable of detecting 15 respiratory pathogens simultaneously in approximately 15 minutes.
This multiplex PCR testing system enhances diagnostic accuracy and enables rapid decision-making in clinical care.
🔬 Important Notes:
- The test is covered by insurance only under specific conditions, based on the physician’s judgment.
- The reagent cost alone is ¥12,000, and for patients with 30% copayment, the out-of-pocket cost is approximately ¥4,050 (based on 1,350 insurance points).
🦠 Pathogens Detected:
- Viruses:
- SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19)
- Seasonal coronaviruses
- Influenza A
- Influenza A/H1-2009
- Influenza A/H3
- Influenza B
- Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV)
- Adenovirus
- Human Metapneumovirus
- Human Rhinovirus / Enterovirus
- Parainfluenza virus
- Bacteria:
- Bordetella pertussis
- Bordetella parapertussis
- Chlamydia pneumoniae
- Mycoplasma pneumoniae
This system allows for high-sensitivity detection, even when symptoms are overlapping or multiple infections are suspected.
We appreciate your understanding as we continue to provide safe and precise care.
