Blood specimen collection device

January 2020—Biodesix announced it has been issued a patent for its Biodesix Collection Device. The device aims to improve ease of use in blood sample collection for diagnostic testing. The BCD, which is currently used with the Biodesix Nodify XL2 test, combines multiple sample processing steps, including specimen collection and reproducible sample separation with ambient shipping. The company plans to use the BCD in all proteomic testing and make the device available for purchase by labs and diagnostic companies for sample processing and testing.

FDA clears Lumipulse G whole PTH assay

January 2020—Fujirebio Diagnostics received FDA clearance for its Lumipulse G whole PTH assay for testing on the Lumipulse G1200 immunoassay platform. The assay can be used in the differential diagnosis of hypercalcemia and hypocalcemia resulting from calcium metabolism disorders. The fully automated assay has a reaction time of 30 minutes and uses a single test cartridge. It has demonstrated excellent precision with a coefficient of variation of ≤4.0 percent, the company reports.
