January 2024—The Food and Drug Administration approved Adzynma (Takeda Pharmaceuticals), the first recombinant protein product indicated for prophylactic or on-demand enzyme replacement therapy in adult and pediatric patients with congenital thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (cTTP), a rare and life-threatening blood clotting disorder.
January 2024—BD announced it has received FDA 510(k) clearances for its BD MiniDraw, a novel blood collection device that obtains blood samples from a fingerstick. The clearances include low-volume blood collection for a lipid panel, selected chemistry tests, and hemoglobin and hematocrit testing.
January 2024—Biocare Medical has introduced the IntelliPath+ advanced staining instrument, intended for in vitro diagnostic use and redesigned with input from users and the latest technological advancements. It is an open system that accommodates continuous random access with immediate stat capabilities and can process 50 slides per run.
January 2024—The Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute, Association of Public Health Laboratories, American Society for Microbiology, the CAP, and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention have jointly developed a breakpoint implementation toolkit (BIT) to assist clinical laboratories in updating minimal inhibitory concentration breakpoints. The toolkit includes links to other resources that explain the rationale behind breakpoint updates, regulatory requirements for updating breakpoints, and detailed instructions for performing an AST breakpoint validation or verification. Manufacturers of AST systems can provide guidance on breakpoints used and clearance status with their systems.
January 2024—Tosoh Bioscience has entered into an agreement with Sysmex America in which its HLC-723G8 automated glycohemoglobin analyzers can be connected to Sysmex XN-9000 and XN-9100 automated hematology systems in the United States, Latin America, and Canada. With this agreement, Tosoh says it aims to expand its HbA1c offering to the high-volume testing market and further automate hemoglobin A1c testing.
January 2024—Roche launched the Elecsys HBeAg quant, an immunoassay for the in vitro qualitative and quantitative determination of hepatitis B e antigen in human serum and plasma. In conjunction with other laboratory results and clinical information, HBeAg quantification may be used as an aid in the diagnosis and monitoring of patients with hepatitis B viral infection. It is for use on Cobas e analyzers in countries that accept the CE mark.
January 2024—QuidelOrtho has received FDA 510(k) clearance for its Savanna PCR platform and Savanna HSV 1+2/VZV in vitro diagnostic test for the detection and differentiation of herpes simplex virus types 1 and 2 and varicella zoster virus nucleic acids isolated and purified from swabs obtained from cutaneous or mucocutaneous lesion specimens from symptomatic patients.
January 2024—Ad Astra Diagnostics has received 510(k) clearance from the FDA for its QScout rapid-result hematology system. The analyzer provides point-of-care white blood cell counts and a neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio and differentiates the number and percent of five types of mature WBCs as well as immature granulocytes. To run the test, whole blood is added to a QScout rapid leukocyte differential test, which contains a dried reagent that stains cells. When the test is inserted in the QScout analyzer, an optical system takes images and an algorithm identifies the cells in real time. Results are displayed in about two minutes.
December 2023—LGC Clinical Diagnostics has launched Seraseq unmethylated and methylated ctDNA mutation mixes for assay development, validation, and routine performance monitoring. Key features of the products include global methylation of CpG sites to support all CpG methylation assays and enzymatically fragmented ctDNA for low background noise and physiologically relevant fragment sizes. Methylation status is quantified using digital PCR assays and validated by targeted next-generation sequencing panels. The products are manufactured in GMP-compliant, ISO 13485-certified facilities.
December 2023—Mayo Clinic Laboratories announced a strategic collaboration to bring Progentec’s proprietary biomarker blood tests for the management of autoimmune diseases to market. The collaboration aims to increase accessibility for providers and patients across the United States and select global markets.
