Assays

Broaden your potential for viral gastroenteritis testing

BD MAX™ Enteric Viral Panels include targeted testing for Norovirus and Rotavirus or
extended coverage with Adenovirus, Sapovirus and Astrovirus

BD MAX™ Enteric Solutions offer an effective, time-saving alternative to conventional methods

Diagnosing infectious diarrhoea is labour intensive and can take up to 72 hours (or longer) for results

BD MAX™ Enteric Bacterial and Extended Enteric Bacterial Panels are fully integrated on the BD MAX™ System providing the ability to consolidate molecular testing for enteric pathogens

Simply snap the Extended Panel into the Enteric Bacterial Panel test strip for extended coverage

The BD MAX™ System provides a faster time to result than culture – around 2 hours, with minimal hands-on time²

Improved patient management

Improved workflow

Increased accuracy of detection

By adding the Extended Enteric Bacterial Panel to the Enteric Bacterial Panel, your lab can detect over 95% of bacteria that cause infectious diarrhoea¹

BD MAX™ Enteric
Bacterial Panel

Targets four of the most common pathogens reported in outbreaks of diarrhoea – Campylobacter spp., Salmonella spp., Shigella spp., and Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC).
Of these, amongst foodborne bacteria, non-typhoidal Salmonella species are the leading cause of hospitalisation and death.³

BD MAX™ Extended Enteric
Bacterial Panel

Targets pathogens that are seasonally and regionally implicated in bacterial gastroenteritis – Vibrio spp., Yersinia entercolitica, Enterotoxigenic E. coli (ETEC) and Plesiomonas shigelloides.
Simply snaps into the Enteric Bacterial Panel test strip, upon request when additional food or waterborne bacteria are suspected or for the immunocompromised patient. Alternatively, this panel may be ordered run for every stool specimen if extended coverage is desired.⁴

BD MAX^TM Enteric Bacterial and Extended Enteric Bacterial Panels have major benefits compared to conventional stool culture methods

More accurate diagnosis and results to aid in appropriate treatment⁵

Reduces consumables related to conventional methods by an average of 60%²

Saves space and resources required for processing stool samples by conventional methods

Implementation of timely and accurate detection of organisms can improve patient management and antimicrobial stewardship¹

You can optimise your testing algorithm by selecting the most appropriate enteric panel(s) based on patient history/clinical presentation

The BD MAX™ Extended Enteric Bacterial Panel can be used at all times or when broader testing is needed

Simply snap into the BD MAX™ Enteric Bacterial Panel test strip as needed for ease of use

The BD MAX™ System easily runs the BD MAX™ Enteric Parasite Panel, the BD MAX™ Enteric Viral Panel, and the BD MAX™ Enteric Viral Panel-NR for all of your molecular stool testing needs

BD MAX™ Enteric Viral Panel & BD MAX™ Enteric Viral Panel-NR offer precise
testing and more

Globally, Norovirus is estimated to be the most common cause of acute gastroenteritis – responsible for 685 million cases every year of which 200 million are among children younger than 5 years old, leading to an estimated 50,000 child deaths every year, mostly in developing countries¹

Rotaviruses are the most common cause of severe diarrhoeal disease in young children throughout the world²

Molecular testing with BD MAX™ Enteric Viral Panel provides results in several hours for same day decisions on patient management and transmission risk

BD MAX™ Enteric Viral Panel & BD MAX™ Enteric Viral Panel-NR are fully integrated on the BD MAX™ System providing the ability to consolidate molecular testing for enteric pathogens
