Calprotectin Extraction Device
First to receive FDA clearance

Inova DiagnosticsInova Diagnostics has received FDA 510(k) clearance for a fecal extraction device to be used in conjunction with the company’s Quanta Flash Calprotectin assay, a chemiluminescent immunoassay for the detection of fecal calprotectin in human stool samples. High concentrations of fecal calprotectin, in conjunction with clinical findings and other laboratory tests, may assist in the diagnosis and management of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), including Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis, and helps differentiate IBD from irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). The first such device to receive FDA clearance, Inova’s fecal extraction device correlates well to the manual weighing method, allows extracted sample to be stored at room temperature for up to 72 hours, and can be placed directly on Inova’s Bio-Flash system for convenient sample processing.
