BD (Becton, Dickinson and Company) Announces the Commercial Launch of a New Single-Cell Research Tool BD (Becton, Dickinson and Company) announced the commercial launch of a new single-cell research tool to help scientists better understand how the molecular machinery within a cell functions and how it regulates changes in a cell that can lead to cancer and other diseases. Researchers worldwide are currently using innovative approaches to study multiple aspects of health and disease at a single-cell level. In the ever-evolving field of biological research, the newly launched BD Rhapsody Single Cell ATAC-Seq (assay for transposase-accessible chromatin using next-generation sequencing) Assay enables scientists to perform single-cell analysis of the epigenome – the set of chemical marks, or epigenetic changes, on the DNA in a single cell that holds critical clues about mechanisms of disease. Adding an epigenomic layer-view will play a crucial role in helping researchers track and understand how environmental factors impact the DNA and corresponding cell function. By gaining such knowledge about DNA, scientists can deepen their understanding of how diseases progress and apply those learnings to develop effective therapies. Commercially available globally June 26, 2024, the BD Rhapsody ATAC-Seq Assay, BD Rhapsody TCR/BCR Next Multiomic Assay and BD Rhapsody Intracellular CITE-seq Assay are designed to be used on the BD Rhapsody Single-Cell Analysis System – a gentle, microwell-based instrument for conducting single cell research. The BD single-cell multiomics portfolio is available for purchase from BD representatives, or in some regions, through its ecommerce portal. Ankündigung • Jun 05

Becton, Dickinson and Company Initiates International Study to Expand Treatment Options for Patients with Peripheral Arterial Disease Becton, Dickinson and Company announced the enrollment of the first patient in the investigational device exemption (IDE) study, AGILITY, which will assess the safety and effectiveness of the BD Vascular Covered Stent for the treatment of Peripheral Arterial Disease (PAD). The investigational Vascular Covered Stent is a self-expanding, low profile, polytetrafluoroethylene encapsulated nitinol implant. It is deployed from a delivery system that provides controlled stent release. According to BD, the global, prospective, multi-center, single-arm, non-randomized AGILITY clinical study will include 315 patients at up to 40 clinical study sites across the United States, Europe, Australia and New Zealand. Follow-up for all treated patients will be performed at various points after treatment starting at one month and ending at 36 months. PAD affects more than 18 million Americans and more than 236 million people worldwide. It is a potentially debilitating disease that can lead to increased risk of cardiovascular complications and limb amputation. A healthy diet, exercise and cessation of smoking can help mitigate the development of PAD, which includes the formation of atherosclerosis and blood clots in arteries in the legs. Minimally invasive techniques using devices such as angioplasty balloons, drug-coated balloons, atherectomy and covered stents can be used to increase blood flow through the diseased areas. The first patient in the AGILITY study was enrolled at Trinity Medical Center in Bettendorf, Iowa by Dr. Nicolas Shammas, Interventional Cardiologist, Cardiovascular Medicine, PLLC.

BD Receives FDA 510(K) Clearance for Potentially Transformative Fingertip Blood Collection Device BD announced it has received 510(k) clearances from the U.S. Federal Drug Administration (FDA) for a novel blood collection device that obtains blood samples from a fingerstick that produce lab-quality results for some of the most commonly ordered blood tests. The BD MiniDraw™ Capillary Blood Collection System is less invasive than a traditional venous blood draw by using capillary blood collected from a patient's finger by a trained healthcare worker, without the need for a phlebotomist to collect blood from a vein. The innovative design provides a sample that produces lab-quality blood test results from a fraction of the volume of traditional venous collections. It is less invasive than traditional venous blood collection methods and more convenient for the patient by expanding access to blood collection to new locations, including retail pharmacies. The device may provide a better patient experience and has the potential to transform diagnostic testing. The 510(k) clearances include low-volume blood collection for a lipid panel, selected chemistry tests, and hemoglobin and hematocrit (H&H) testing. These tests are among the most commonly ordered lab tests and can be used to diagnose and monitor a variety of chronic conditions from hypertension to high cholesterol. BD plans to expand blood tests enabled by BD MiniDraw™ Collection System in the future.Traditionally when a patient requires "blood work," a doctor orders the test, and an appointment is made at a laboratory service center where a nurse or phlebotomist draws tubes of blood from the patient's vein. The BD MiniDraw™ Collection System has the potential to transform this experience by expanding blood testing to new, more convenient settings, which can benefit patients, health care providers and collection sites. For patients, capillary collection with the BD MiniDraw™ Collection System provides the convenience of having blood drawn somewhere they already frequent, like a retail pharmacy or grocery store, which may have longer hours of operation and be closer to where they live or work. For these non-traditional collection sites, it enables expansion beyond existing health and wellness programs like administering vaccinations and can generate additional store traffic. For health care providers, capillary blood collection could be offered at a physician's office without the need for a phlebotomist. Making blood collection easier and less invasive may improve patient adherence to blood testing, for example, as part of annual wellness checks, which could lead to earlier diagnosis and better monitoring of chronic conditions. In May 2022, BD and Babson Diagnostics announced an expansion of their original strategic partnership agreement, announced in 2020, to advance development of the Babson BetterWay™ blood testing ecosystem, which includes the BD MiniDraw™ Collection System and Babson's proprietary automated sample-handling and analytical technologies. These were designed to work together to enable blood testing that requires only a fraction of the sample volume of traditional venipuncture methods without sacrificing quality or accuracy.

Becton, Dickinson and Company Announces Launch of Next-Generation Needle-Free Blood Draw Technology Becton, Dickinson and Company launched new needle-free blood draw technology compatible with integrated catheters, helping to further enable the company's vision of a "One-Stick Hospital Stay." With 510(k) clearance from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the new PIVO Pro Needle-free Blood Collection Device features design improvements to achieve the first and only compatibility with integrated and long peripheral IV catheters, including the new Nexiva Closed IV Catheter System with NearPort IV Access. This expands on current PIVO compatibility with traditional short peripheral IV catheters available since 2017. The new solution combines the clinical benefits shown for the integrated closed Nexiva Catheter System, including longer dwell times and reduced catheter complications, with the ability to draw high-quality blood samples directly from a patient's peripheral IV line with PIVO Pro, reducing the need for additional needlesticks. With needle phobia experienced by more than 60 percent of the adult population, this solution helps improve the patient experience by alleviating fear and anxiety associated with repetitive needlesticks. This new solution helps to reduce unnecessary and repeat needlesticks in the hospital while elevating clinical outcomes, improving workflow and creating a better experience for clinicians and patients." Peripheral IV insertion and blood collection are two of the most common in-patient procedures in hospitals touching almost every patient daily. These invasive procedures are associated with a variety of complications such as poor first-stick insertion success, frequent catheter failures and poor sample quality that can extend hospital stays, increase cost and create a dissatisfying experience. PIVO Pro combined with Nexiva with NearPort IV Access is designed to access optimal blood draw conditions and help improve clinician efficiency and patient experience. The innovative line draw solution has been shown to help optimize IV performance, reduce sample errors that can result in redraws and delays in patient care while reducing complications that lead to unnecessary procedures and IV replacements. By removing the needle from blood draws and reducing IV replacements, it may reduce the risk of needlestick injury and blood exposure for clinicians while preserving a patient's vessel health.(7,9,10) As the global leader in vascular access solutions, BD is committed to advancing the standard of care for IV therapy and blood draws for patients and health care providers. The latest innovation in the BD Peripheral Line Draw Solution further drives the BD "One-Stick Hospital Stay" vision across each of its three pillars _ including (1) helping to reduce unnecessary needlesticks by choosing the right vascular access device and placing it successfully the first time; (2) using one IV line as a single access point for required therapies and blood draws; and (3) optimal maintenance of the IV line to help reduce the risk of complications so it does not have to be replaced and lasts throughout a patient's hospital stay. Compared to open catheter system- Clinical studies were done on previous generations of the PIVO Blood Collection Device and Nexiva Catheter System. PIVO Pro and Nexiva with NearPort IV Access are the next generations of their respective product families. Ankündigung • Oct 18

Extending BD's Decades-Long Legacy of Leadership in Infusion Innovation: Today's clearance further enhances BD leadership in the infusion pump market. The updated BD Alaris Infusion system will help empower hospitals and health systems to optimize their workflows and deliver a higher standard of care, which has never been more important than in today's health care environment of staffing shortages and resource constraints. The BD Alaris Infusion System is the only system with a centralized user interface for up to four modules for all major types of infusions, including large volume pumps, syringe pump, and PCA therapy with optional respiratory monitoring. Having one, comprehensive infusion system enables hospitals and health systems to easily scale their infusion needs across an entire integrated delivery network and provide interoperability with EMR interoperability. With a common Point-of-Care Unit, one interface controls all modules, which is different from other pumps on the market that have non-modular architecture. The "one system" approach offers ease, simplicity and scalability. The BD Alaris infusion System also has the breadth of customers, the number of nurses trained on its use and the broadest experience and number of customers with EMR interoperability. Without this type of digital connectivity, clinicians are often required to navigate time-consuming processes, taking multiple steps to manually program infusions. The BD Alaris Inf Fusion System can also feed data to the BD HealthSight™? platform for enterprise medication management, which is a unique combination of connective technologies, analytics and expert services that turn information into insights among caregivers and create seamless visibility across BD medication management solutions. With this platform, health systems can view infusion status in real-time as well as access an intuitive knowledge portal with actionable information related to clinician trends and drug and fluid libraries.

BD Receives FDA Emergency Use Authorization for COVID-19, Influenza A/B, RSV Combination Test BD announced that it has received Emergency Use Authorization from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for a new molecular diagnostic combination test for SARS-CoV-2, Influenza A + B and Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) to help combat illness in the current and future respiratory virus seasons. The test, for use on the BD MAX Molecular Diagnostic System, uses a single nasal swab or a single nasopharyngeal swab sample to identify and distinguish if a patient has COVID-19, the flu, RSV or some combination of the three, with results available in as little as two hours. The test helps eliminate the need for multiple tests or doctor visits and can help clinicians implement the right treatment plan quickly. The co-testing approach also helps to increase testing capacity during the busy flu/RSV season and speed time to diagnosis. The BD MAX System is already in use at thousands of hospitals and laboratories worldwide, and each unit is capable of analyzing hundreds of samples over a 24-hour period. The Respiratory Viral Panel for BD MAX System is an RT- PCR assay that detects and differentiates the nucleic acid of SARS-CoV-2, flu A, flu B and RSV in as little as two hours for the first result, with the simplified and automated workflow of the BD MAX System. Development of this combination test has been funded in whole or in part with federal funds from the Department of Health and Human Services; Office of the Administration for Strategic Preparedness and Response; Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority. The BD Respiratory Viral Panel assay for BD MAX System was CE marked under the IVD directive 98/79/EC in May of 2022. It is an important addition to the extensive number of assays available on the system across respiratory infections, sexually transmitted infections, gastrointestinal infections, women's health and health care associated infections. The BD MAX open system allows customers to leverage research use only (RUO) assays and user-defined protocols (UDP) to address emerging needs quickly. Ankündigung • Feb 04
Becton, Dickinson and Company Introduces High-Throughput Single-Cell Multiomics Platform to Expand Scope of Scientific Discovery Becton, Dickinson and Company announced a new instrument for single-cell multiomics analysis that will enable scientists to run high-throughput studies without sacrificing sample integrity – potentially accelerating time to discovery across a wide range of disciplines including immunology, genetic disease research, and cancer and chronic disease research. The BD Rhapsody™ HT Xpress System enables scientists to isolate, barcode and analyze single cells at a high sample throughput — up to eight times more cells than prior versions of BD single-cell analyzers. The system ensures no sample loss and gives scientists the flexibility to analyze multiple samples and different cell sizes and types, such as stem cells or cancer cells, at the same time, to obtain more insights in less time. The new technology will be on display at the Advances in Genome Biology and Technology (AGBT) General Meeting February 6-9 in Hollywood, Florida. Single-cell multiomics is a rapidly growing approach that enables researchers to look at multiple layers of "omics" (including genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics and metabolomics) information on a single cell, to exponentially increase the parameters that can be investigated and uncover a more comprehensive view of health and disease. Additionally at the AGBT General Meeting, BD will introduce the BD Rhapsody™ Mouse TCR/BCR Multiomic Assay, a cell receptor profiling tool for single-cell studies, as well as BD® Flex Single-Cell Multiplexing Kits, a companion tool for single-cell studies on any BD Rhapsody system, including the BD Rhapsody™ HT Xpress System, enabling more elements to be measured in a single run by expanding the number of sample tags. BD will also present data on these latest innovations. BD is completing early-access testing for the BD Rhapsody™ HT Xpress System, which will soon be commercially available globally.
