ViroGates A/S, a medical technology company developing blood tests for better triaging in hospitals to improve patient outcomes and reduce healthcare costs, announces that it has completed the development and regulatory approval (CE-IVD in Europe) of its suPARnostic® TurbiLatex product for the Siemens Healthineers Atellica® platform.
The Atellica® platform is the most recent clinical chemistry and immunoassay system from Siemens Healthineers. The system has particular advantages since maintenance and inspections can be run while the system is operational, and the “down-time” is markedly reduced compared to previous systems. In addition, Atellica® is a fully automated system requiring no manual handling from the blood sampling until results are processed.
The approval of suPARnostic® TurbiLatex for the Atellica® system complements the previous approvals for the Abbott Architect™, Abbott Alinity™, the Roche Diagnostics cobas® systems, and the Siemens Healthineers ADVIA® Chemistry XPT system.
The suPARnostic® Turbilatex product is a pivotal element in ViroGates’ European expansion strategy, focusing on the acute care market.
CEO Jakob Knudsen says in a comment: ”We are excited to be able to offer suPARnostic® TurbiLatex on the Atellica® platform from Siemens Healthineers. We experience that Atellica® is capturing markets share, and we have potential customers who have been waiting to complete the validation for this platform. We look forward to implementing suPARnostic® TurbiLatex at these hospitals to support faster and better patient triage decisions to the benefit of patients, hospitals, and payers.”
