What is the major drawback of the BioFire Film Array?
A
It can only detect one PCR target
B
It cannot detect slowgrowing organisms
C
It can only do one sample per hour
D
It cannot detect resistance genes
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: - 1 Hour. The FDA-cleared BioFire GI Panel tests for 22 of the most common pathogens associated with gastroenteritis-all from one patient sample and one easy to use reagent, with results available in about one hour.

Detailed explanation-2: -Significantly reduced hospital length of stay. Less time to targeted treatment, including shorter antibiotic durations, avoiding unnecessary antibiotic use, and promoting antimicrobial stewardship goals. More informed infection control decisions, including shortened isolation times and optimal patient cohorting.

Detailed explanation-3: -However, the BIOFIRE® Respiratory 2.1 (RP2. 1) Panel is a polymerase chain reaction (PCR) test-a type of NAAT-that offers results in about 45 minutes and features sensitivity of 98.4% for SARS-CoV-2. Intended for use with patients suspected of COVID-19, the BIOFIRE® Respiratory 2.1-EZ (RP2.

Detailed explanation-4: -At a willingness to pay up to $100 000, BCID had a 72.6%–83.8% chance of being cost-effective. One-way sensitivity analyses revealed length of stay and cost per day of hospitalization to have the most substantial impact on costs and QALYs. BCID was found to be cost-saving when used to diagnose E.
