About the Unyvero System

The CE-marked Unyvero System is a versatile hardware platform for the detection of a broad panel of bacteria, fungi and antibiotic resistance genes from a single sample in one run. It processes a disposable cartridge providing the necessary reagents to complete the analysis from sample to result. It is marketed in Europe, Russia, the Middle East and various other non-European countries, with three CE-marked Unyvero Application Cartridges currently available: The Unyvero P55 Cartridge focuses on pneumonia testing, the ITI Cartridge is designed for the diagnosis of implant & tissue infections and the BCU Cartridge is designed to analyze positively flagged blood culture samples from bottles inoculated with blood from patients with suspected blood stream infections. Cartridges for additional indications are in various stages of development and preparation.

In the U.S., Curetis is running a prospective multi-center clinical trial aimed at achieving FDA clearance registered here.

The platform enables the DNA-based testing of all clinically relevant samples in a fully automated, unsupervised analysis process requiring only a few, quick manual preparation steps. The analysis thus can be performed with minimal operator time and without the need of skilled staff or special infrastructure. Thereby, clinically relevant information is available within about four to five hours to support an informed therapy decision as early as possible.
