Nanosphere is using the power of nanotechnology to create innovative molecular diagnostics for the medical field. The Verigene(R) System is an easy-to-use cartridge-based platform that enables rapid, cost-effective, multiplexed testing in a near-patient setting. Current and forthcoming products include clinical diagnostics in the areas of infectious disease, pharmacogenetics, cardiology, and human genetics. Nanosphere is based in Northbrook, IL.







Nanosphere's (Nasdaq:NSPH) Verigene BC-GP test, based on the company's proprietary array-based nanoparticle technology, demonstrated 100% sensitivity and specificity for detection of the drug-resistant bacteria MRSA and VRE, and an overall sensitivity of 98.4% for a broad panel of bacterial targets, according to an initial study.

The study, presented September 18 at the 51st Interscience Conference on Antimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapy (ICAAC) in Chicago was conducted by Dr. Nathan Ledeboer, Dr. Blake Buchan and colleagues at the Medical College of Wisconsin and Dynacare Laboratories in Milwaukee, WI.

Early laboratory identification of pathogenic bacteria in patients with bloodstream infections is critical to managing infections and improving patient outcomes. The benefits of faster diagnosis are well established and include increased survival rates, lower costs of patient care, and reduced use of unnecessary antibiotics. The automated BC-GP test returns results for 13 bacterial identification targets and 3 antibiotic resistance targets in under two and a half hours as compared with current microbiological culture methods that can take 24 -- 48 hours to identify bacterial pathogens and determine their resistance or susceptibility to common antibiotics.

The BC-GP test is part of Nanosphere's growing menu of infectious disease tests for the Verigene(R) platform. The Respiratory Virus Plus Nucleic Acid Test is an FDA-cleared, in vitro diagnostic test for respiratory viruses. Additional sample-to-result tests for gram-negative bacteria, C. difficile, and enteric pathogens are currently in development.

Medtronic Announces 510(K) Clearance for the TSRH® Spinal System Pedicle Screw for the Treatment of Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis

AIS is the Most Common Type of Scoliosis Seen in Adolescents and Affects Nearly One Million Adolescents in the U.S. Alone

MDT, Medtronic, Inc.

Medtronic (NYSE: MDT) announced it received a second clearance from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to treat adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) with pedicle screws. The TSRH® Spinal System is the second posterior fixation system by Medtronic to receive 510(k) clearance for this indication and Medtronic remains the only company with this clearance under the Agency’s product category for pediatric AIS patients treated with posterior pedicle screw instrumentation.

Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) is the most common pediatric spine condition, and its cause is unknown. Many patients with AIS have rotated and/or curved spines, which may resemble an "S" or "C" shape instead of a straight line seen with normal spines. Some of the bones in the spines of AIS patients can rotate, causing the shoulders or waist to appear uneven. If the curvature of the spine progresses as the patient grows, it could compress nerve roots and the spinal cord.

“This additional AIS clearance will further afford Medtronic the ability to provide training and education to spine surgeons treating patients diagnosed with AIS,” said Doug King, vice-president and president of Medtronic Spinal. “This clearance also provides an opportunity to further research and study these patients allowing us to move forward with our commitment and investment in pediatric innovation.”

Medtronic, Inc. (www.medtronic.com), headquartered in Minneapolis, is the global leader in medical technology-alleviating pain, restoring health, and extending life for millions of people around the world.

AuthenTec, Inc.
