cobas^{^®} VivoDx System

The cobas® vivoDx System is used for the rapid detection, identification and determination of antimicrobial susceptibility of live bacteria in laboratories and other healthcare settings. The system incorporates the innovative Smarticles technology, which, for the first time, combines the speed and simplicity of molecular diagnostics with phenotypic detection to deliver fast results. This rapid detection helps in staying ahead of the ever-evolving antibiotic-resistant bacteria, providing information that is critical for multi-drug resistant organisms (MDRO) surveillance and for assisting physicians in guiding antibiotic therapy.

Rapid phenotypic results

The Smarticles technology utilizes custom-designed DNA-delivery bioparticles for the detection of live bacteria through bioluminescence. It requires minimal preparation and provides results in hours instead of days when compared to growth-based identification and susceptibility test methods.

Flexible and easy workflow

Continuous load design allows both single-sample and multi-sample processing. The innovative test cartridge format reduces contamination risk and the need to monitor reagents.

Sample in, results out

Automated processing and result interpretation provides an efficient path to definitive answers.

Connectivity

LIS connectivity is available for the cobas^® vivoDx System. The system uses either ASTM or HL7 communication protocol.
