Is it bacterial or viral?
Make faster, more informed decisions with rapid, accurate host response information to differentiate bacterial & viral infections and lower the chance of inappropriate patient management & antibiotic misuse.
Beckman & MeMed new partnership to offer Host Response Immunoassay Test: Rapidly Distinguish Between Bacterial & Viral Infections to treat it rapdily and accordingly
Bacterial and viral infections are often clinically indistinguishable, which can lead to inappropriate patient management and antibiotic misuse. Diagnostic uncertainty due to inaccessible infection sites, undetected pathogens or co-infections,and unclear disease cause can lead to: 40% Antibiotic overuse, 20% Antibiotic underuse and can also increase the spread of infection, disease, resistance....
These MeMed assays complement Beckman Coulter's portfolio of host response diagnostics, including our CBC-based hematological biomarker MDW [monocyte distribution width] identifying the presence of severe infection and risk of sepsis
With rapid, accurate host response information to differentiate between bacterial and viral infections, MeMed BV is decoding the body’s response to infection, helping clinicians make faster, more informed decisions.
What makes MeMed BV stand apart from conventional testing?
- No need to access the site of infection
- Uses only a small sample of serum or venous whole blood*
- Not affected by colonizers
- Able to detect co-infection
