Cytovale Sponsored Presentation: Blood to Answer Under 10 Minutes: a Novel Host Response Diagnostic Technology for Sepsis
Session Description:
Join Dr. Chris Thomas for an overview of an entirely new approach in rapid sepsis diagnostics. The IntelliSep test uses a benchtop instrument designed for the clinical laboratory to quantify the state of innate immune activity in under 10 minutes. The instrument evaluates the mechanical properties of white blood cells (leukocytes), which differ in septic patients compared to non-septic patients. This investigational technology is currently being evaluated in a multicenter study aimed at providing data to support 510k filing.
This course was originally recorded in June 2021 as a part of Sepsis Tech & Innovation.
