Research summary
This is a multicenter observational study to compare results from the IRIDICA BAC BSI Assay on the IRIDICA System to concurrent blood culture results using whole blood specimens. Participating subjects will have a diagnosis of systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) and suspicion of blood-stream infection. This patient population is likely to benefit from a fast and accurate assessment of infectious bacteria and fungi, and the associated application of appropriate antimicrobial therapy. The technology used by the IRIDICA System is a new approach to identification with the potential to provide additional information more quickly than current testing. The technology has been studied previously in several research settings.
