Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
Determined sensitivity and specificity of the iON device by comparing MTB slide results to their associated bacterial culture results from the same specimen(s).
Sensitivity, specificity, and average analysis time were determined. An image database of \>40,000 images was also created for internal use.
Study completed over the grant period 2019 - 2022
Study Arms (1)
