When it comes right down to detecting sepsis most diagnostics companies use methods to identify the pathogen. But therein lies the issue with looking for the pathogen, because it has to be in the blood sample or the fluid sample to start with, otherwise a clinician can't find it. In the clinician's world this causes a lot of false negatives, because if that pathogen is not in that sample or that blood sample, it doesn't matter how fast or sensitive that technology is, the clinician won't find it."
