BioMérieux announces CE mark for Vidas TBI test
November 2023—BioMérieux announced it has received the CE mark for its Vidas TBI (GFAP, UCH-L1), a test to support the assessment of patients who have mild traumatic brain injury. The blood test measures the concentration of glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) and ubiquitin C-terminal hydrolase-L1 (UCH-L1), two brain biomarkers that are released into the bloodstream during the first hour following a brain injury. It aims to fill a gap in patient screening methods by ruling out acute intracranial lesions and helping to determine if a CT scan is necessary.
