DoD partners with Detect-Ion to develop Point-of-Care Breath Diagnostics for Early Detection of Infected Warfighters

화요일, 6월 6, 2023

TAMPA, Fla., June 6, 2023 /PRNewswire/ --The recent COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the need to rapidly detect infected humans to intervene early before severe conditions develop and to mitigate the spread of infections across a larger population. The ideal diagnostics approach should be painless (non-invasive), rapid, cost-effective, accurate, and should be versatile to detect multiple infectious pathogens, in some cases pre-symptomatically (even before the symptoms are visible). This diagnostics capability when applied to United States Department of Defense (DoD) warfighters would ensure mission readiness in austere environments, where providing adequate medical personnel and/or traditional diagnostics labs can be challenging. With this vision, DoD's DIU teamed up with DTRA and has awarded an Other Transaction (OT) contract to Detect-Ion to develop such a Point-of-Care (PoC) Breath Diagnostics.

Key Points: 
  • This diagnostics capability when applied to United States Department of Defense (DoD) warfighters would ensure mission readiness in austere environments, where providing adequate medical personnel and/or traditional diagnostics labs can be challenging.

  • CLARION in-vitro diagnostics (IVD) may offer sufficient versatility to potentially screen against multiple infection types in a single breath test.
  • The project is planned over three years and allows DoD to pursue follow-on production if the pilot project succeeds in addressing the program metrics.
