MADISON, Nueva Jersey y CYPRESS, California, November 16, 2011 /PRNewswire/ --

- Con el nuevo test molecular Focus Diagnostics de Simplexa para 3M™ Integrated Cycler, la compañía ya ofrece uno de los menús de pruebas de transplante molecular más completos de Europa

Quest Diagnostics Incorporated (NYSE: DGX), el proveedor líder mundial de test de diagnóstico, información y servicios, ha anunciado hoy que sus negocios Focus Diagnostics cuentan con la Marca CE para su nuevo kit de test molecular Simplexa Cytomegalovirus (CMV) en 3M™ Integrated Cycler para su distribución para aproximadamente 35 países de Europa. El test se ha diseñado para permitir a los laboratorios de los hospitales realizar pruebas moleculares avanzadas para citomegalovirus (CMV), una infección de virus potencialmente mortal en pacientes con inmunidad comprometida, sobre todo los que se someten a transplante de órganos.

Focus Diagnostics mostrará los test Simplexa CMV y otros test de Simplexa en la MEDICA 2011 International Trade Fair con el congreso titulado - World Forum for Medicine, que se celebrará del 16 al 19 de noviembre de 2011 en Dusseldorf, Alemania (expositor 3/C16-1, hall 3).

El test Simplexa CMV emplea una reacción en cadena de polimerasa en tiempo real para detectar de forma cuantitativa CMV en los especimenes de sangre y plasma. Con la Marca CE del test Simplexa CMV, Focus Diagnostics cuenta con uno de los menús de pruebas moleculares transparentes más complejos del mercado en Europa. A comienzos del año 2011, los ensayos cuantitativos Simplexa EBV y Simplexa BK recibieron el estatus CE-IVD. Focus Diagnostics ofrece también pares primarios moleculares para el desarrollo de test de laboratorio, incluyendo JC virus, Varicella-Zoster Virus (VZV), adenovirus y herpesvirus-6 humano (HHV-6).

"La capacidad para detectar y cuantificar CMV y otros virus que se sabe afectan al transplante de órganos y otros pacientes inmunocomprometidos es vital para el cuidado del paciente", indicó Jay M. Lieberman, M.D., director médico de enfermedades infecciosas de Quest Diagnostics y Focus Diagnostics. "Con nuestro test Simplexa CMV y otros productos de test, los médicos de los hospitales y otras instalaciones con laboratorios moleculares pueden conseguir resultados de laboratorio de forma más rápida para administrar a sus pacientes en riesgo y evitar las complicaciones que suponen una amenaza para la vida".

Al igual que ocurre con otros miembros de la familia de virus herpes, CMV suele estar latente tras la infección primaria. Puede ser reactivo cuando el sistema inmune se ve debilitado de forma importante, como tras un transplante de órgano, y causar fiebre, rechazo del órgano e incluso el fallecimiento.

Europa representa el mayor mercado de transplante de órganos del mundo, con unos procedimientos estimados de transplante de órganos cifrados en 31.379 realizados en 2010 según un análisis de Global Industry Analysis, Inc.

Acerca de Simplexa

Focus Diagnostics, un negocio de propiedad total de Quest Diagnostics, desarrolla y fabrica la línea de productos de test molecular Simplexa que operan en el 3M(TM) Integrated Cycler, una plataforma de test compacto y portátil, como parte de una colaboración global exclusiva con 3M(TM). Simplexa fue el primer kit de prueba en aprobarse por la FDA para ayudar a la detección y diferenciación del virus de la gripe H1N1 2009, en mayo de 2010. Otros test Simplexa aprobados por la FDA ayudan a la detección de la gripe A y B y virus respiratorio sincitial. Otros test comercializados como Simplexa, incluidos los test para los virus Clostridium difficile, Epstein Barr y BK, están certificados CE y se distribuyen en Europa. En 2011, la tecnología Simplexa/3M obtuvo un Medical Design Excellence Award gold en la categoría de diagnóstico in vitro y un Edison Award para nuevos productos de diagnóstico de ciencia y medicina.
