BD MAX™ Vaginal Panel

Elevate the standard of care for Women’s Health

Vaginal infections are among the most common reasons for which women in the United States seek medical care–resulting in approximately 10 million visits to physician offices annually.^1,2,3,4 Traditional diagnostic techniques tend to be subjective with variable sensitivity and specificity.^2,5,6 This potentially leads to continued symptoms, repeat visits, inappropriate treatment, poor antimicrobial stewardship and unnecessary associated healthcare system costs.^1,7,8

Introducing the BD MAX™ Vaginal Panel

The BD MAX Vaginal Panel is the first FDA market-authorized, microbiome-based, polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assay that directly detects the 3 most common infectious causes of vaginitis: Bacterial vaginosis, vulvovaginal candidiasis and trichomoniasis.⁹

With the BD MAX Vaginal Panel, you can maximize efficiency with 1 collection, 1 test for the 3 most common infectious causes of vaginitis.⁹ This assay also supports antimicrobial resistance initiatives by reporting Candida krusei and C. glabrata.
