Verichem calibration verifiers for cholinesterase testing

June 2023—Verichem Laboratories offers multilevel calibration verification materials for cholinesterase activity as part of its liquid-stable and ready-to-use Enzyme ER Verifier kit. The verifiers are designed to include at least one concentration level of enzyme activity within the normal range and intended to be treated as patient specimens. The material’s protein balance, pH, and ion content are constant across concentration levels. The kit material also contains multilevel assigned activities for alanine aminotransferase, alkaline phosphatase, alpha-amylase, aspartate aminotransferase, creatine phosphokinase, gamma-glutamyl transferase, lactate dehydrogenase, and lipase. Each kit has 5 mL of material for each of the six levels and a shelf-life and open-vial stability of 18 months.

BD gets clearance for MRSA diagnostics AI software

June 2023—BD received FDA 510(k) clearance for the BD Kiestra methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus imaging application, which uses artificial intelligence to automate the task of inspecting Petri dishes to determine if there is bacterial growth. The application can evaluate single specimens or group together a large volume of plates with nonsignificant growth for batch review and release negative results. It uses AI algorithms to look for specific culture characteristics on the BBL Chromagar MRSA II plate. Based on that information and analysis by BD Synapsys informatics, plate images are automatically organized and sorted into meaningful worklists, the company says.
