Nicox has announced its U.S. launch of a point-of-care diagnostic test that aids in the differential diagnosis of acute conjunctivitis, according to a news release (pdf).
The AdenoPlus test is designed to detect adenovirus. Nicox said the test is a four-step process that takes less than two minutes to complete and provides a result in 10 minutes.
"With AdenoPlus, Nicox has taken a first step towards fulfilling its objective of starting a commercial business in the ophthalmic space," said Michele Garufi, chairman and CEO of Nicox, in the release. "We have established a specialized sales team on the ground who will be marketing and selling this innovative and easy-to-use product to eyecare practitioners across the United States, bringing a new, fast and accurate diagnostic option that will aid in the differential diagnosis of acute conjunctivitis."
Nicox is headquartered in France, and has a U.S. subsidiary in Dallas.
