Background Verification is a critical component of implementing a diagnostic test in a clinical lab and can be time consuming and costly. A verification protocol and organism panel were developed in collaboration with ZeptoMetrix®, LLC to verify all analyte detections for the BioFire® Joint Infection (JI) Panel*. The BioFire JI Panel detects 31 pathogens and 8 antimicrobial resistance (AMR) genes associated with joint infections from synovial fluid specimens. Methods A protocol was developed using prototype NATtrol™ controls from ZeptoMetrix®, synovial fluid, and the BioFire® FilmArray® 2.0 and the BioFire® FilmArray® Torch Systems. Control materials were tested in the presence of synovial fluid from pooled human donors. The 32 targets required for all analyte detections were divided into 5 pools of 6-7 analytes and then tested over multiple days on several systems. Results Preliminary outcomes were good with a cumulative positive detection rate of 100% (310/310) and expected negative detections of 99.3% (1182/1190) from 50 prototype BioFire JI Panel test runs. AMRs were correctly identified in 50/50 (100%) replicates when a correlated bacterium was present. Unexpected detections of Streptococcus spp. (7/50) and Staphylococcus lugdunensis (1/50) were likely due to contaminants in the synovial fluid; Streptococcus spp. was confirmed by testing the synovial fluid in isolation. Conclusion Efficient performance verification may be achieved by combining 32 organisms/8 AMR into 5 pools and can be completed with 20 test runs in 4 days. The pooling scheme provides multiple positive/negative detections per analyte and accurately detects AMR. The protocol and controls serve as a useful tool for providing reliable detections of targets over multiple days, operators and systems and offers a flexible solution for supporting verification needs. *The BioFire® Joint Infection Panel is currently pending US FDA De Novo review.
