Supportive Data
This test is US Food and Drug Administration approved on synovial fluid specimens; the manufacturer has evaluated the clinical performance data of this sample type. The Clinical Bacteriology Laboratory at Mayo Clinic conducted a verification of the FilmArray Joint Infection Panel using 5 pools of known target analytes from a commercially available verification panel. The assay demonstrated overall agreement of 100% with expected results. The Clinical Bacteriology Laboratory also compared culture growth of 75 clinical samples (42 positive and 33 negative) and JIP results. The percent positive agreement was above 80% for all targets tested. The pools did not include the downgraded organism identifications for the Streptococcus species and Candida species but were included in the clinical specimens tested.
