What is 531. Clinical Evaluation of the BioFire® FilmArray® Gastrointestinal (GI) Panel for use with Rectal Swab Specimens in Cary-Blair Media about?

Abstract Background The BioFire® FilmArray® Gastrointestinal (GI) Panel provides results for 22 bacterial, viral, and protozoan pathogens responsible for GI infection in about an hour. This test is indicated for use with stool specimens in Cary-Blair media (SCB) as a specimen type. For many patients, a stool sample can be difficult to provide during a single clinic visit, potentially delaying diagnosis and treatment. Rectal swabs in Cary-Blair (RSCB; an off-label sample type) are a more convenient and faster specimen type to collect, as collection can occur during a patient’s healthcare visit. The purpose of this study was to assess the performance of the GI Panel when testing RSCB compared to SCB. Methods Paired SCB and RSCB specimens were collected from outpatient subjects with signs of GI infection and tested in parallel using the GI Panel. All detections were confirmed using culture (for some bacterial analytes) and PCR/sequencing. Performance of the GI Panel in RSCB versus SCB specimen types was assessed using the ratios (RSCB/SCB) of sensitivities and false positive rates (FPR). Positive percent agreement (PPA) and negative percent agreement (NPA) for the GI Panel test in RSC
