Curetis N.V. announced that new data on its Unyvero System and LRT Application Cartridge for pneumonia will be presented at the upcoming ASM Microbe Conference, June 20-24, 2019, in San Francisco, CA, USA. The Unyvero LRT Application Cartridge for pneumonia was cleared by the U.S. FDA in April 2018 and launched in the U.S. market at ASM Microbe Conference 2018. Initially cleared for use with tracheal aspirates as a sample type, Curetis is currently in the final stages of preparing a U.S. FDA submission for the clearance of the Unyvero LRT Application Cartridge for bronchoalveolar lavages (BAL), another sample type commonly used in the diagnosis of pneumonia. The submission builds on excellent recent performance data from clinical evaluation studies, which will be presented by Dr. Matthew D. Sims, MD, PhD, in his poster presentation at ASM Microbe 2019.
