Impact of Products/​Services on Healthcare:

Today’s healthcare professionals are challenged with balancing appropriate antibiotic prescribing with withholding of unnecessary antibiotic. Since infection symptoms can be non-specific, broad spectrum antibiotics are often the first line of defense for many clinicians to avoid missing potentially severe cases.

Procalcitonin (PCT) testing can make a difference when speed and accuracy matter most. PCT provides data specific to systemic bacterial infection, with respect to its presence, course, and severity.3 Adopting PCT tests into your antibiotic stewardship program has the potential to reduce initial antibiotic prescription rates, antibiotic treatment duration, in-hospital and ICU length of stay, and the likelihood of antibiotic-caused adverse events while resulting in optimized therapy, improved outcomes, and reduced costs.

Innovation

ADAPT-Sepsis Study demonstrated that PCT was the only safe and effective routine biomarker that supported antimicrobial stewardship decisions in adults with Sepsis.
