GlobeNewswire Inc.
T2 Biosystems, Inc. (NASDAQ:TTOO), a leader in the rapid
detection of sepsis-causing pathogens and antibiotic resistance
genes, today announced the second largest sale of sepsis-driven
T2Dx® Instruments in Company history.
T2 Biosystems’ distribution partner, Biomedica
Poland, secured a multi-year contract for T2Dx Instruments and
sepsis test panels that are expected to be deployed in selected
hospitals across Poland. The initial order includes seven T2Dx
Instruments, valued at more than $450,000, with the potential for
nine additional instruments to be sold and deployed into an
increased number of hospitals in Poland during the second half of
2023. The initial term of the contract secured by our distributor
is for three years, with the potential to extend for an additional
two years.
“We are thrilled with this order and look
forward to working closely with our distribution partner, Biomedica
Poland, to deliver our state-of-the-art sepsis diagnostic products
to hospitals across Poland,” stated John Sperzel, Chairman and CEO
of T2 Biosystems. “Our sepsis test revenue increased by 67% in
Central Europe during the first quarter of 2023, compared to the
prior year period, and we believe there is enormous potential to
further expand the adoption of our sepsis products in Poland and
throughout Europe.”
Poland is the fifth most populous member state
in the European Union, with over 40 million people, and has more
than 1,200 hospitals. Based on the findings of a 2020 survey of
hospitals in Poland, it was concluded that, “there is room for
improvement in sepsis and septic shock management at its early
phase.” A study of severe sepsis in ICU patients in Poland found
morality rates from 46% to 54% and length of stay in the ICU
ranging from 8 to 13 days in the ICU. The introduction of the
Company’s T2Dx Instrument and sepsis test panels provides rapid
detection of sepsis-causing pathogens and antibiotic resistance
genes, in just 3-5 hours, potentially enabling clinicians to
achieve faster targeted antimicrobial therapy, reduce hospital
length of stay and improve patient outcomes.
