About Venaxis, Inc.
Venaxis, Inc. is an in vitro diagnostic company focused on the clinical development and commercialization of its CE-Marked rapid, protein biomarker-based appendicitis test, APPY1. This unique appendicitis test has projected high sensitivity and negative predictive value and is being developed to aid in the identification of patients at low risk for acute appendicitis, allowing for more conservative patient management. APPY1 is a CE Marked product in Europe and is being developed in the U.S. initially for pediatric, adolescent and young adult patients with abdominal pain, as this population is at the highest risk for appendicitis and has the highest risk of long-term health effects associated with CT imaging. While FDA clearance is being sought, an initial launch for APPY1 is ongoing in select European territories. For more information, visit www.venaxis.com.
