A comprehensive sepsis solution
Ativa’s Diagnostic Workstation will enable a more definitive sepsis diagnosis, along with key triage and treatment metrics in 5 minutes and in any healthcare setting.
The process is fast and simple:
• Collect a small blood sample (one drop from finger-stick or venous)
• Place it on the test card
• Insert the card into the analyzer
• Wait 5 minutes
• Review results
Going beyond the four walls of the hospital
Efforts to reduce sepsis have focused on hospital settings.
Integrating a sepsis screen into a complete blood count (CBC) means that almost all undiagnosed patients touching the healthcare system will be checked for sepsis.
