Diagnose Sepsis with more certainty in just one hour with SeptiCyte® RAPID

Products are for professional/laboratory use.  SeptiCyte^® RAPID revolutionizes sepsis diagnosis and treatment, with actionable results available in an hour. SeptiCyte^® RAPID can determine the likelihood of sepsis and differentiate from non-infectious systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) in critically ill patients. The test, which uses a small volume of blood, can be performed easily in any hospital lab with the Biocartis Idylla™ molecular testing system.

A RAPID, SENSITIVE, RELIABLE DIAGNOSTIC TEST
Sepsis, defined as life-threatening organ dysfunction caused by a dysregulated host response to infection, is one of the main causes of morbidity and mortality in critically ill patients. There remains a high unmet need for a rapid, sensitive, reliable diagnostic test to provide physicians with actionable results to rule out sepsis with high confidence or expedite preventative action with prompt therapeutic intervention for a potential life-threatening situation. SeptiCyte® RAPID seeks to address this unmet clinical challenge.

Clinical validation
Clinical research results published in peer reviewed medical journals have demonstrated the accuracy of SeptiCyte® technology in both adults and children suspected of sepsis^1-5. Clinical observations and in silico analyses have shown SeptiCyte® RAPID can discriminate sepsis from SIRS across a heterogeneous patient population, including those with immunosuppression.

Actionable results in 1 hour
SeptiCyte® RAPID performance is independent of illness severity, superior to other clinical variables in discriminating SIRS/sepsis1. SeptiCyte® RAPID can recognize the host immune response to bacterial, viral or fungal pathogens causing sepsis and provide the physician with highly accurate and actionable results in 1 hour.

Improve outcome, lower costs
Studies have revealed higher costs and mortality are associated with a delayed sepsis diagnosis⁶. So an early accurate sepsis rule in/rule out using SeptiCyte® RAPID can efficiently improve patient outcomes. Furthermore, it can relieve financial burdens. An economic study⁷ indicated an average ICU in the US could save ~ $5M/year adopting SeptiCyte® LAB.

Expedite and optimize clinical workflow
With high accuracy, SeptiCyte® RAPID can strengthen clinical decision making either enabling early sepsis protocol implementation, if there is a high SeptiScore® (high PPV) or re-evaluating etiology of symptoms if there is a low SeptiScore® (high NPV), both of which improve patient management and antibiotic stewardship.

*SeptiCyte^® RAPID is available for IVD use in New Zealand and RUO use in Australia.
