BÜHLMANN Laboratories AG’s Quantum Blue® Infliximab, lateral flow assay for rapid quantification of Infliximab in Serum; IBDoc®, the first in-vitro diagnostic home testing device measuring the inflammatory marker fecal calprotectin at home; as well as CALEX® Cap Device for rapid stool extraction are now commercially available in Canada and are Health Canada licenced.
Amherst, NH, May 02, 2017 --(PR.com)-- BUHLMANN Diagnostics Corp (BDC), BÜHLMANN Laboratories AG’s North American affiliate is proud to announce that three of its novel products, Quantum Blue® Infliximab Assay, IBDoc® and CALEX® Cap have received Medical Device Licences from Health Canada and are now commercially available in Canada. Quantum Blue®, Infliximab® and CALEX® CAP devices were approved as Class II medical devices according to the Canadian Medical Device Regulations. IBDoc® was approved as a Class III medical device.
The first product, the Quantum Blue® Infliximab is a quantitative flow rapid test assay designed with an innovative solution based on established lateral flow technology which utilizes highly specific monoclonal antibodies to capture the molecule being measured. This unique assay is the only test that can provide fast, reliable information for infliximab, and correlates well with the standard routine ELISAs for determination of infliximab levels.
The second product, IBDoc® Calprotectin Home Testing, Class III device is the first self testing application for fecal calprotectin in Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) patients. The CalApp® turns your smartphone into a test cassette reader using state of the art image processing. Stool extraction is performed using the CALEX® Valve that is characterized by its simple and convenient handling of stool samples. The secure connection of CalApp® with IBDoc® Portal allows Health Care Professionals to directly monitor patient results.
The third product, BÜHLMANN’s CALEX® Cap Device is unique stool extraction device that contains a measured amount (5ml) of BÜHLMANN extraction buffer and is designed for exclusive use with all BÜHLMANN Calprotectin Assays. CALEX® Cap offers excellent precision in stool sampling and shows high correlation to gold standard weighing method for stool extraction and therefore is characterized by high reliability.
“BDC is thrilled to receive these regulatory approvals for our Quantum Blue® Infliximab, IBDoc®, and CALEX® Cap Device,” states Thomas Hafen, CEO of BÜHLMANN. “We are proud of these achievements and look forward to delivering these innovative solutions to the Canadian market to help enhance care for patients with inflammatory bowel disease. We truly believe that these products will help revolutionize treatment pathways simply through the quality, ease-of-use, efficiency, and cost effectiveness that these products offer to not only patients but also to physicians and laboratories.”
