Respiratory Infections Portfolio

Detection of highly transmissible respiratory pathogens

The BD MAX™️ Portfolio of Respiratory assays

The efficiency and versatility offered by the BD MAX™ System and the Respiratory portfolio facilitate high volume molecular testing for rapid diagnosis and treatment.

HOW MOLECULAR TESTING CAN HELP WITH RESPIRATORY INFECTION (RI) DIAGNOSTIC CHALLENGES

Globally, every year there are an estimated 1 billion cases of seasonal influenza, of which 3 to 5 million are severe cases1

TB remains the world’s top infectious killer with 10 million contracting the disease each year and 1.5 million deaths2

Global pandemics occur when new strains occur of known respiratory viruses.

2019 novel coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) is a new strain that has not been previously identified in humans and is an international public health threat
Since it's outbreak, SARS-CoV-2 and its variants spread rapidely across the globe.

Diagnosis of acute respiratory infections can be difficult

Clinical symptoms: A number of other viruses and bacteria cause similar symptoms so much of influenza-like illness is determined not to be influenza³
Management of testing need: Acute respiratory infections spread easily from person to person through the air or by direct or indirect contact. Seasonal or pandemic infection drives high volumes of testing and need for rapid diagnosis to direct isolation and treatment
Test result accuracy: Traditional respiratory tests can be less reliable and false positive or false negative results can occur⁴
