Abstract
The Bio Fire Film Array System has emerged as a powerful tool in clinical diagnostics, offering rapid and multiplexed detection of infectious pathogens. This study presents the development of a comprehensive mathematical model aimed at predicting the accuracy and sensitivity of the BioFire FilmArray System under diverse conditions. Key factors such as sample type, pathogen load, specimen characteristics, and environmental variables were systematically analyzed to elucidate their impact on the system's performance. The model incorporates a range of parameters including sample volume, specimen complexity, microbial diversity, and system-specific variables to generate probabilistic estimates of diagnostic outcomes. By leveraging large datasets encompassing diverse clinical scenarios and pathogen profiles, the model achieves robustness and generalizability, thereby facilitating its applicability across different healthcare settings and populations. Validation of the model against independent datasets demonstrates its efficacy in accurately predicting the performance of the BioFire FilmArray System across a spectrum of conditions. Overall, this mathematical model represents a significant advancement in optimizing the utility of the BioFire FilmArray System for infectious disease diagnosis. Its integration into clinical practice holds promise for improving patient care, guiding sample processing protocols, and informing decision-making processes in infectious disease management.
