Radiometer has joined the fight against sepsis with the introduction of the rapid procalcitonin test (PCT) Find out more Home > About us > News > Radiometer steps in to fight sepsis Radiometer steps in to fight sepsis Radiometer, a leading provider of bedside diagnostic solutions, helps raise awareness of the early diagnosis of sepsis, a global threat that affects over 20 million people each year September 8, 2015 Symptoms are often ambiguous and non-specific, which makes diagnosis very difficult. Very often, sepsis is overlooked or recognized too late with disastrous consequences; more than 30 percent of sepsis patients die. Radiometer emphasizes the importance of identifying and promptly implementing adequate antibiotic therapy as early as possible in the disease. An extensive portfolio of bedside diagnostic tests provides physicians and diagnosticians with key markers for the diagnosis of sepsis, including glucose, bilirubin, lactate, white blood cells, C-reactive protein, creatinine and blood gas analysis. Complementing the aforementioned tets is the recently introduced Radiometer test, allowing for fast and accurate measurement of procalcitonin (PCT) - the marker of choice to assist in the diagnosis of sepsis - allowing key treatment decisions to be made within 21 minutes. Rapid bedside tests significantly reduce test time, allowing the clinician to diagnose faster because the earlier sepsis is diagnosed, the greater the chance of recovery.
