More accurate diagnosis: BD MAX™ Enteric Solutions

Choose efficiency

Maximise your impact

Enhance your performance

Benefit from true testing flexibility

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

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

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

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
