T2Candida Panel

Better patient outcomes: Candida infections have an overall mortality rate of 40%, but if patients receive targeted treatment within 12 hours, the mortality rate can be reduced to 11%.^2,3 T2Candida provides a clear and compelling solution, by providing results in just hours without waiting for slow-growing fungal infections, which are often mistaken as bacterial infections, to reach positivity. One model estimates that early diagnosis with T2Candida may prevent an estimated 60% of Candida-related deaths.⁴

Unprecedented speed and accuracy: The T2Candida Panel pivotal clinical trial demonstrated results in 3 to 5 hours⁵, while other methods require a positive blood culture before the identification of Candida species. The T2Candida panel can detect species at concentrations of just 1-3 CFU/mL ⁵, a considerable improvement over blood cultures that have a low sensitivity of only 60% for Candida species and are susceptible to interference from antimicrobials⁶.  Blood cultures have a median time to positivity of 2-3 days and negative results determined after 5 days of inactive growth. T2Candida empowers clinicians to make important clinical decisions sooner.

Faster targeted therapy: Studies have shown that the time to targeted therapy greatly impacts patient outcomes and reduces mortality rates, with corresponding reductions in healthcare costs from shorter length of stay, and a reduction in the overuse of antifungals. It’s estimated that the T2Candida Panel can save roughly $27,000 per patient due to faster results and subsequent targeted therapy.⁴ See how Henry Ford in Michigan and Lee Health in Florida have demonstrated faster targeted therapy for patients in clinical care for more than 24 hours.^8,9

Improved stewardship and pharmacy savings: Hospitals – including Lee Health,⁹ Huntsville Hospital,¹⁰ and University of Pittsburgh Medical Center¹¹ – have reported antifungal savings from negative test results, which can more than offset the full cost of the test.
