binx health

The study shows that the binx io provides accurate results in about 30 minutes, enabling single visit test and treatment for chlamydia (CT) and gonorrhea (NG), two of the most tested-for sexually transmitted infections (STIs) globally. The standard of care today for CT/NG testing often requires 2-10 days of delay between sample collection and answer, resulting up to 40% of positive patients not returning for treatment[1]. With CT/NG infections already at record highs—and the broad cessation of routine STI testing related to impacts of COVID-19[2]—the need for the binx io rapid, molecular point-of-care platform is especially acute. Barbara Van Der Pol, MPH, PhD, President of the American Sexually Transmitted Diseases Association and Principal Investigator of the clinical study at the University of Alabama at Birmingham, described the binx io CT/NG assay as “a highly accurate test that allows rapid results to be available during the patient visit. The FDA cleared, binx io system is a highly flexible and easy-to-use, molecular point-of-care platform leveraging patented, multiplex technology to enable central lab equivalent clinical performance in decentralized, near patient locations such as retail pharmacy, urgent care, and the large and evolving category of consumer “super stores,” that are increasingly serving customer health needs.

Latest FDA clearance establishes binx as the fastest dual-gender rapid test-and-treat platform for chlamydia and gonorrhea COVID-19 pandemic has created growing backlog of millions in need of routine STI testing binx health, a leader in infectious disease testing solutions, announced that it has received a second 510(k) clearance from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in one of the largest markets for infectious disease testing. Today, the Company announces FDA 510(k) clearance to market its sensitive and specific, molecular point-of-care testing platform, the binx io, for the detection of chlamydia (CT) The binx io platform is a rapid, qualitative, fully automated molecular test, designed to be easy to use, and intended for use at the point of care or clinical laboratory settings. The FDA cleared, binx io system is a highly flexible and easy-to-use, molecular point-of-care platform leveraging patented, multiplex technology to enable central lab equivalent clinical performance in decentralized, near patient locations such as OB-GYN and primary care, retail pharmacy, urgent care, and the large and evolving category of consumer “super stores,” that are increasingly serving customer health needs.

binx health was featured in Fortune Magazine highlighting the io platform as not only the first and fastest FDA-cleared molecular point-of-care diagnostic for the detection of chlamydia and gonorrhea, but also for its potential to be a “breakthrough” in efforts to prevent and control STIs. The FDA cleared, binx io system is a highly flexible and easy-to-use, molecular point-of-care platform leveraging patented, multiplex technology to enable central lab equivalent clinical performance in decentralized, near patient locations such as OB-GYN and primary care, retail pharmacy, urgent care, and the large and evolving category of consumer “super stores,” that are increasingly serving customer health needs. In addition to the binx io onsite care platform above, binx has also developed a suite of medical guideline driven, at-home testing solutions to reach the many who are unwilling or unable to visit a physical location. We believe the future of near-patient healthcare lies at the nexus of testing convenience, rigorous science, and consumer relationships with a rapidly expanding retail health landscape.

In fact, in a recent multi-center study of the binx point-of-care platform, only half of patients presenting with symptoms actually had an infection and, without the benefit of a rapid test-and-treat diagnostic system, may likely have received unnecessary and inappropriate empiric treatment. : it is the world’s first, FDA-cleared, molecular point-of-care test for the detection of chlamydia (CT) and gonorrhea (NG) in vaginal swabs that generates results, with accuracy equivalent to central lab testing, in about 30 minutes. The io is designed to enable test-to-treatment in a single visit, allowing treatment of a greater number of positive patients more accurately while preventing over-treatment in symptomatic but CT/NG negative patients. The binx ecosystem consists of rapid point-of-care testing, at-home screening, and an integrated set of clinician tools that equip you to improve the sexual health of your patients and curb the rising STI rates.
