T2 Biosystems Receives FDA 510(k) Clearance for the Expanded T2Bacteria Panel
2024年2月12日 - 11:00PM
T2 Biosystems, Inc. (NASDAQ:TTOO), a leader in the rapid
detection of sepsis-causing pathogens and antibiotic resistance
genes, today announced that it has received 510(k) clearance from
the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the expanded
T2Bacteria® Panel, adding the capability to detect another
bacterial species, Acinetobacter baumannii (A. baumannii), to the
expansive panel.
A. baumannii is a cause of bloodstream
infections, especially in critically ill patients, which can range
from benign transient bacteremia to septic shock. In a large study
of nosocomial bloodstream infections, A. baumannii was the tenth
most common pathogen and has a crude ICU mortality rate of 34.0% to
43.4%. A. baumannii infections typically occur in people in
healthcare settings and pose risk to those who are on ventilators,
have devices such as catheters, have open wounds from surgery, are
in intensive care units, or have prolonged hospital stays.
“We are thrilled to receive the FDA 510(k)
clearance for the expanded T2Bacteria Panel, to include the
detection of A. baumannii, as we believe it will lead to increased
adoption of our proprietary direct-from-blood platform,” stated
John Sperzel, Chairman and CEO of T2 Biosystems. “The addition of
A. baumannii represents the achievement of another successful
product development and regulatory milestone for T2 Biosystems and
increases the value proposition of the T2Bacteria Panel by covering
approximately 75% of all sepsis-causing bacterial pathogens
commonly found in blood stream infections.”
Due to the emergence of pan-antibiotic resistant
A. baumannii, the World Health Organization has identified A.
baumannii as the most critically important bacteria that requires
improved prevention and therapeutic approaches. There are few
antimicrobial options for carbapenem resistant A. baumannii, which
can increase mortality rates to 70%. Acinetobacter resistance to
many antibiotics, including carbapenems, highlights the importance
of rapid detection and targeted antimicrobial treatment.
The T2Bacteria Panel is the first and
only FDA-cleared product able to detect sepsis-causing
pathogens directly in whole blood, in 3 to 5 hours, without the
need to wait days for a positive blood culture. The FDA-cleared
T2Bacteria Panel now detects E. faecium, S. aureus, K. pneumoniae,
P. aeruginosa, E. coli, and A. baumannii. Rapid detection of
these pathogens is essential to getting infected patients on the
appropriate antimicrobial therapy and improving clinical
outcomes.
