Q-linea AB ( (SE:QLINEA) ) has issued an announcement.
Q-linea has secured U.S. FDA 510(k) clearance for an expanded Gram-negative blood culture testing menu on its ASTar platform, significantly broadening the system’s clinical scope. The updated Version 2 panel now offers 215 bug–drug combinations, about 75% more than the earlier version, and incorporates key antibiotics such as Ceftriaxone, Cefotaxime, Ceftolozane-tazobactam and Ertapenem.
The new panel also introduces upgraded performance algorithms and aligns with the latest FDA breakpoints, positioning ASTar as one of the most up-to-date phenotypic susceptibility solutions for U.S. laboratories and clinicians. By more closely matching the CE-IVDR-cleared European offering, the clearance strengthens Q-linea’s competitive footing in the U.S. market and is expected to support better sepsis care, faster optimization of targeted antibiotic therapy and potential cost savings for healthcare systems.
