The BÜHLMANN IBDoc® is a CE marked assay allowing IBD positive patients to perform quantitative calprotectin tests in the comfort of their own home. Results are communicated to the clinician via smartphone technology enabling a customised, patient centric approach for therapy. Come and discuss how this approach can provide patient privacy, reassurance and involvement in disease management. See how the IBDoc can also be used to help triage valuable clinic space to those most in need.

The BÜHLMANN Quantum Blue® rapid Anti-TNF drug monitoring assays can also enable tailored therapy, resulting in improved patient care and cost effectiveness by allowing timely decision making for dose adjustments before the next infusion.

NICE have recently reviewed Faecal Haemoglobin testing using FIT to triage patients with low risk of colorectal cancers. Come and discuss how your clinic can benefit from the HM-JACKarc system. There are a number of hospitals in the UK now using this technology with a cut-off of 10µgHb/g faeces, which has a high NPV for cancer (100%) and other serious bowel disease (94%), making it an effective method of reducing colonoscopy referrals.

We would welcome the opportunity to demonstrate these products on the stand, or if you would like to evaluate in your clinic or hospital then come and talk to us.
