Algodx AB received U.S. FDA 510(k) clearance for its sepsis detection software Navoy CDS. The technology, which analyzes patient data, has the potential to improve patient outcomes as it enables clinicians to detect and treat sepsis earlier.
Cytovale Inc. has posted a feverish run of wins lately. The company gained U.S. FDA clearance for its Intellisep rapid test for sepsis in January 2023, raised $84 million in a series C in November and just published results showing the test has negative predictive value of 97.5%.
Prenosis Inc. gained U.S. FDA de novo marketing authorization for an artificial intelligence-powered rapid diagnostic tool for sepsis, one of the most challenging and deadly conditions in hospitals and reported a distribution agreement with Roche Holding AG. Another pairing also made progress in developing a sepsis in vitro diagnostic this week, as Bosch Healthcare Solutions GmbH and Randox Laboratories Inc. joined forces and committed €150 million (US$159.63 million) to the effort.
Inflammatix Inc. received U.S. FDA breakthrough device designation for its Triverity acute infection and sepsis test system, which produces three readouts that could help emergency physicians quickly determine the proper course of treatment.
The time to diagnosis of sepsis infection to a patient in the hospital can be critical, with underdiagnosis resulting in rapid deterioration, risk of organ damage and need for readmission, and overdiagnosis leading to the avoidable and sometimes serious health consequences of overtreating patients with broad-spectrum antibiotics.
Previa Medical SA will begin clinical trials later this year of its artificial intelligence software designed for early detection of sepsis after it raised €2.1 million (US $2.2 million) in seed funds.
Cytovale Inc. received U.S. FDA 510(k) clearance for its Intellisep sepsis test, which can aid in the diagnosis of the often fatal condition within 10 minutes. Cytovale is one of several companies and collaborations that aim to sharply reduce the time to diagnosis and the mortality rate for sepsis by providing quicker, more informative test results and standardizing protocols.
Cytovale Inc., a San Francisco-based medical technology company, has snagged an additional $3.83 million in funding from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services’ Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority (BARDA) to conduct a pilot study of its Rapid Sepsis Diagnostic System for patients with potential respiratory infections, including SARS-CoV-2, the novel coronavirus responsible for COVID-19. The patented technology, which can diagnose sepsis in less than 10 minutes, could speed up triaging and treatment of critically ill patients suspected of having the life-threatening condition.
Cytovale Inc., a San Francisco-based medical technology company, has picked up $15 million in financing to advance its technology that enables the early detection of sepsis in the emergency department.
