Identify pathogens
Confidently select optimal treatment – within the critical hours after sepsis diagnosis
Initiation of an effective therapeutic regime at early onset is a major challenge that may significantly determine the course and prognosis of the sepsis patient.
An optimal anti-infective therapy, given within the first crucial hours, not only benefits the patient, but can reduce health costs, treatment times, and the emergence of resistant microorganisms.
Yet, today's ‘gold standard' technique for pathogen detection relies on blood cultures, taking 2-3 days to produce results, and is only effective for 15% of infected cases (1).
In addition, blood culturing cannot detect non-cultivable pathogens, may miss low abundance pathogens and requires patient samples to be free from anti-infective agents.
Within 8 hours, VYOO answers the question: “Which pathogens?”
Using well-established molecular biology techniques and a proprietary sample preparation process, VYOO provides an innovative diagnostic tool that overcomes the deficiencies of conventional blood culturing.
Effective, timely and cost-effective therapy
Fast, reliable results from VYOO, together with other clinical indications, help clinicians to determine the most effective anti-infective therapy, benefiting the patient as well as reducing overall costs and treatment times. In addition, positive identification of bacterial pathogens and characterization of their antibiotic resistance can help to prevent the emergence of resistant microorganisms.
