SepTec™
What is Sepsis
According to the CDC, sepsis occurs when an infection triggers an extreme (dysregulated) immune response.
It is a life-threatening medical emergency.
Without timely treatment, sepsis can rapidly lead to tissue damage, organ failure, and death.
The presence of a blood stream infection is commonly used to diagnose sepsis.
Impact of Sepsis
cases per year
DEATHS
Cost to healthcare each year
Decrease in survival
every hour that diagnosis and appropriate treatment is delayed
of deaths could be avoided
through rapid diagnosis and treatment
antibiotic resistant infections
occur in the USA every year as a result of AMR
Current Diagnostic Limitations
Sensitivity
Blood culture sensitivity varies widely (55-65%) with false negative and positive results commonly reported.
Time to Result
Blood culture typically takes 1-3 days to return a result.
Workflow
Newer molecular diagnostic approaches can deliver a result in 3-5 hours, but the tests are complex and must be performed by experts in a central lab facility.
SepTec™
SepTec™ is our lead platform that takes advantage of our patented sensor technology.
This offers significant benefits over traditional diagnostic approaches and helps tackle the global issue of sepsis.
Rapid
15 minutes diagnosis.
Point of Care
Information available to clinician when & where it’s needed.
Significant Savings
Significant savings in treatment costs.
Pathogen Classification
Enables immediate targeted treatment (gram positive/negative, fungal).
Reduced Mortality
Earlier intervention with appropriate treatment will decrease sepsis mortality rates.
Reduced Antibiotic Usage
Reduced reliance on broad spectrum antibiotic treatment which can contribute to the growing problem of anti-microbial resistance.
