Atomo Diagnostics is introducing the world’s first integrated rapid blood test device to the USA market at the 2014 AACC Annual Meeting & Clinical Lab Expo (July 27-31) following a successful presentation at the 20th International AIDS Conference 2014 in Melbourne (July 20 -25, 2014).
Abbott is developing diagnostic solutions for today and tomorrow, which it will showcase during the American Association for Clinical Chemistry (AACC) Annual Meeting and Clinical Lab Expo, July 27 through July 31, 2014, in Chicago.
Focus Diagnostics received expedited FDA 510(k) clearance and CLIA moderate complexity categorization for its new Simplexa HSV 1 & 2 Direct molecular test on the Integrated Cycler. The test, which is now available for purchase in the United States, is the first molecular test to be cleared by the FDA for the qualitative detection and differentiation of herpes simplex virus 1 (HSV-1) and herpes simplex virus 2 (HSV-2) in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) from patients suspected of HSV central nervous system (CNS) infection, including encephalitis. The test uses a proprietary process that eliminates nucleic acid extraction, so clinicians can expect results within about an hour after providing a specimen for testing.

There are 17 million cancer survivors in the US who are at high risk of recurrence of their disease. The AMAS Test, an immunoassay designed to detect levels of an antibody correlated with nearly all cancer types, can be an important tool in detecting recurrence since it becomes positive at an earlier stage than other diagnostics.
A University of Utah School of Medicine-led study has identified a previously unknown but crucial component in the process to make platelets, a discovery that could help spare multiple myeloma patients from a dangerous side effect of the primary drug (bortezomib) used to treat their cancer.
Dr. Lakshmann Ramamurthy (Avalere Health) will discuss Regulatory & Reimbursement Policy Trends Affecting Market Access for Diagnostic Devices – Emphasis on Validity and Quality. Dr. Ramamurthy was formerly senior reviewer/policy advisor, FDA’s Center for Devices & Radiological Health, where he led the pilot project of the FDA-CMS parallel review
AACC, a global scientific and medical professional organization dedicated to better health through laboratory medicine, unveiled an updated brand identity today that reflects the organization’s commitment to help laboratory professionals adapt to the changing healthcare environment and continue to do what they do best: provide vital insight to physicians, so patients get the care they need.
At the world’s largest conference and exhibit for laboratory medicine, AACC will showcase the cutting edge science and technology shaping the future of medical testing and patient care. This year, the meeting will include the latest news about mobile health, big data, and infectious disease testing, among many other major healthcare topics.
The Federation of State Medical Boards unveiled an updated draft interstate compact for physician licensure. The Compact, which offers a streamlined alternative pathway for state-based licensure, would create a new process for faster licensing for physicians interested in practicing in multiple states, including those who practice telemedicine.
Most people associate arthritis with aging, but the fact is, one in 1,000 children is diagnosed with juvenile arthritis.
