Vitros HIV Combo test gets expanded approval

Nov. 30, 2018–Ortho Clinical Diagnostics announced that its Vitros Immunodiagnostic Products HIV Combo Reagent Pack and Calibrator received FDA approval for use on the company’s Vitros ECi/ECiQ Immunodiagnostic Systems. Vitros HIV Combo, a fourth-generation test, detects HIV-1 and HIV-2 antibodies (Ab) and the p24 antigen (Ag). “Early detection of HIV-1 is critical in getting patients into treatment as soon as possible after infection,” Jennifer Paine, Ortho’s chief product portfolio and quality, regulatory, and compliance officer, said in a press release.

Roche launches IVD pan-TRK IHC assay

Nov. 29, 2018—Roche announced the worldwide launch of the Ventana pan-TRK (EPR17341) Assay, an automated in vitro diagnostic immunohistochemistry assay to detect tropomyosin receptor kinase proteins in cancer. The CE IVD/U.S. class I assay is designed to detect C-terminal protein expression, which allows for the detection of TRK-fusion as well as wild-type protein expression. “As the first test of its kind, the Ventana pan-TRK (EPR17341) Assay provides an important new tool to help us better understand the role of TRK protein

FDA clears Simplexa group B strep assay

Nov. 27, 2018—DiaSorin Molecular announced that the FDA has cleared its Simplexa GBS Direct assay for diagnostic use. Designed for use on the Liaison MDX instrument, the highly sensitive assay enables qualitative detection of group B Streptococcus nucleic acid from 18- to 24-hour Lim broth enrichments of vaginal/rectal specimen swabs obtained from antepartum women. Assay results can be used as an aid in determining the colonization status of antepartum women. “Our new GBS assay simplifies GBS testing and allows for the

FDA OKs Vitros HIV Combo on Vitros 5600

Nov. 15, 2018—Ortho Clinical Diagnostics’ Vitros Immunodiagnostic Products HIV Combo Reagent Pack and Calibrator received FDA approval for use on Ortho’s Vitros 5600 Integrated System.
