T2Candida 1.1 Panel and T2Dx Instrument is a qualitative T2 Magnetic Resonance (T2MR) assay for the direct detection of Candida species in K2EDTA human whole blood specimens from patients with symptoms of, or medical conditions predisposing the patient to, invasive fungal infections. The T2Candida 1.1 Panel identifies five species of Candida and categorizes them into the following three species groups:

1. Candida albicans and/or Candida tropicalis

2. Candida parapsilosis

3. Candida glabrata and/or Candida krusei

The T2Candida 1.1 Panel is indicated for the presumptive diagnosis of candidemia. The T2Candida 1.1 Panel is performed independent of blood culture. Concomitant blood cultures are necessary to recover organisms for susceptibility testing or further identification. The T2Candida QCheck Positive and T2Dx QCheck Negative External Controls are intended to be used as quality control samples with the T2Candida 1.1 Panel when run on the T2Dx Instrument. These controls are not intended for use with other assays or systems.

Indications for use read by OCR from a scanned FDA summary, so letters may be misread. Check the PDF before quoting it.
