Accelerate Diagnostics Gets CE Mark for Antimicrobial Susceptibility Test

Accelerate Diagnostics’ new IVD configuration of its Accelerate PhenoTest BC kit has received a CE mark.

The Tucson, Ariz.-based company said the newly reconfigured diagnostic, which it launched in the U.S. in July, provides antimicrobial susceptibility testing results in approximately seven hours.

The test runs on the company’s Accelerate Pheno system, which is designed to improve “time to results, time to optimal therapy, duration of therapy and hospital length of stay,” Accelerate Diagnostics said.
