23. CONCLUSION 604
605
The data in these studies, within their statistical uncertainty, support the product claims of the BAX® 606
System Real-Time Assay for Salmonella from ground beef, cream cheese, bagged lettuce, dry pet 607
food, chicken carcass rinses, and stainless steel. Additional studies showed broad inclusivity and the 608
ability to discriminate against non-target species, a high degree of robustness when subjected to 609
deviations from the manufacturer’s specifications and consistent performance across different lots of 610
the test kit. 611
