StatStrip Lactate Connectivity Meter from Nova Biomedical
StatStrip Lactate is a handheld point-of-care testing system that brings lactate testing directly to the patient’s bedside. Lactate is currently measured on blood gas analyzers, which creates numerous problems for bedside testing.
Blood gas analyzers require anaerobic, arterial samples; large sample volumes (100-200 microliters); and require long analysis times (up to 2.5 minutes).
In addition, blood gas analyzers are complex to operate, fixed in location, and expensive to purchase and use.
StatStrip Lactate provides the fastest turnaround time possible (13 seconds), on the smallest whole blood sample (0.6 microliters), and can be easily operated by medical and nursing staff. StatStrip Lactate is a very low cost device that makes lactate testing practical and affordable in any size ED, ICU, or medical unit.
Worldwide, severe sepsis and septic shock affect 18 million people annually, accounting for 1,400 deaths each day. In the U.S., severe sepsis occurs in over 750,000 patients each year and accounts for nearly 10% of all ICU admissions.
An estimated 28% to 50% of all U.S. patients with sepsis die—much higher than the number of deaths from prostate cancer, breast cancer, and AIDS combined. In the United Kingdom, the annual sepsis mortality rate is 35%, with an estimated 36,800 deaths occurring in intensive care units (ICU).
Early detection and aggressive treatment of sepsis increases survival chances
Sepsis is a time-critical condition that requires early recognition and initiation of care. Diagnosis is often delayed because the clinical signs and symptoms of sepsis may present subtly; however, a patients’ condition can deteriorate rapidly—especially patients with septic shock, for whom the rate of survival decreases 7.6% for each hour antimicrobial therapy is delayed.
“[We] strongly recommend that more rapid TTAT [therapeutic turnaround time] of lactate results be considered as a way to improve outcomes in ED, OR, and ICU patients.” – National Academy of Clinical Biochemistry
New Surviving Sepsis Campaign (SCC) guidelines call for rapid lactate results
SSC now recommends early screening and protocolized goal-directed therapy for sepsis patients with lactate levels great than 4 mmol/L, targeting treatment to normalize lactate.
This recommendation is endorsed by the Society for Critical Care Medicine, European Society of Intensive Care Medicine, Intensive Care Society, College of Emergency Medicine, and National Academy of Clinical Biochemistry, among others.
