Faster, evidence-based diagnosis
Preserve antibiotics and save on costs
“In one hour we can introduce the treatment … it will change our habits in prescriptions, saving money, saving on antibiotics and treatment side effects”
Célestin Alexis Agbessi, MD, PhD, Emergency Department, Bichat-Claude Bernard Hospital, France
“Only an accessible, fast, sensitive and broad diagnostic tool provides the opportunity to influence therapeutic decisions. Rapid diagnostic systems for the detection of pathogens are very promising tools, as the results can influence therapy decisions and infection control in a short period of time. We’ve found it can replace conventional microbiology in many cases.”
Prof. Dr. med. Stephan Gehring, Department of Pediatrics, Children’s Hospital of Mainz, Germany
Dr. Iolanda Jordan Garcia, MD, PhD PICU Senior Staff, SJD Barcelona Children’s Hospital, Spain
“The QIAstat-Dx panels have been proven to be useful and crucial for emergency doctors to make an accurate diagnosis for patients presenting to the emergency department. The results give us a better understanding of the patient’s course of disease and enable us to formulate the best treatment plans for our patients.”
Dr. Justin Chai K.L., MD, OHD, BCMAS, Head of Emergency Department, Gleneagles Hospital Kota Kinabalu, Malaysia
“We have chosen QIAstat-Dx because we can access the Ct [values] and the amplification curves. It was mandatory for me to have access to Ct values and amplification curves… It's a one-step quick preparation of the sample. It’s easy to learn and then be used 24 hours a day.”
Pierre Lureau, PhD, Medical Director, Medical Biology Laboratory, Hospital Center of Niort, France
“An advantage of the QIAstat-Dx is the availability of Ct [values]. When we have a positive result for a virus, we need to perform the viral load but we need time. We need 4, 5, 6 hours. In these cases, it’s important to have an indication of the Ct. And now clinicians, after SARS-CoV-2, understand very well what the Ct is. For coronavirus, they often ask what is the Ct? The indication of the Ct is very, very important. ”
Dr. Liliana Gabrielli, MD, Microbiology Unit, IRCCS Azienda Ospedaliero-Universitaria of Bologna, Italy
“We do have questions from clinicians from time to time when the pathogen detected is a surprise. It’s nice to have as much information as possible regarding the sample, especially in those cases where it’s a surprise finding. With QIAstat-Dx, now we can actually give them additional information.”
Thomas Sundelin, PhD, Clinical Microbiology Department, Herlev Hospital, Denmark
The QIAstat-Dx Analyzer and QIAstat-Dx panels are intended for in vitro diagnostic use.
