Cytovale’s IntelliSep test is the first and only U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-cleared cellular host diagnostic indicated for use in hospital emergency departments, where over 80 percent of sepsis cases present. The test, which takes only approximately eight minutes, provides clinicians with a first-ever look into the biology that causes sepsis, enabling care teams to quickly and confidently identify the proper diagnosis and deliver appropriate, patient-centered care.
