Radiometer has joined the fight against this potentially fatal condition, providing a rapid, acute care testing solution for measuring procalcitonin (PCT), the most sensitive biomarker to aid in the diagnosis – or rule-out – of bacterial sepsis, allowing early detection of sepsis and helping to save lives [1]. Today, PCT complements other testing recommended in sepsis guidelines.
