Use of NEWS2 and SeptiCyte® RAPID in Acutely Ill Patients Suspected of Sepsis
“A combination of SeptiCyte RAPID with NEWS2 may assist clinicians in rapidly and accurately identifying and assessing risk of poor outcomes in acutely ill patients with Sepsis.”

Clarifying Uncertainty In Sepsis Diagnosis Using A Gene Expression Assay
“For patients initially classified as indeterminate and then reassessed by a forced diagnosis, SeptiCyte® RAPID significantly differentiated between SIRS and sepsis.”

1. In this study, a large percentage of patients initially suspected of sepsis were retrospectively determined to not have sepsis.
2. SeptiCyte® RAPID used alone outperformed other rapid and easily measured markers of sepsis.
3. SeptiCyte® RAPID should be used early in the diagnostic pathway for patients suspected of sepsis to determine likelihood of sepsis. qSOFA, should be used to determine likelihood of poor outcome once a sepsis likelihood has been determined.
4. Rapid and early identification of patients with sepsis using SeptiCyte® RAPID can lead to better management of patients suspected of sepsis.

“The results of this study confirm the equivalence of PAXgene® and EDTA blood sample types in the clinical setting when processed with the SeptiCyte® RAPID CE-IVD cartridge. Combined with the small 240 µL blood volume requirement and the convenient and long storage conditions, the addition of the widely used EDTA blood tube as a validated sample type has the potential to greatly expand the clinical utility of this new near patient sepsis diagnostic”

Clinical Validation of Septicyte Rapid, An FDA Cleared Gene Expression Assay for Sepsis
“SeptiCyte® RAPID has been shown to out perform other tools for suspected sepsis including lactate and PCT, providing an earlier and more accurate sepsis diagnosis. This fast and accurate sepsis diagnosis improves patient outcomes.”
