The National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) awarded a $297,587 Project Grant (CFDA 93.837 - Cardiovascular Diseases Research) to General Fluidics Corporation to validate the performance of the AXESS system, a novel point-of-need clinical chemistry and hematology platform. The goal is to demonstrate equivalence between the AXESS system's results and those obtained from standard venous blood testing for a basic metabolic panel and complete blood count, using matched capillary and venous blood specimens. This effort aims to support the further optimization and commercialization of the AXESS system with a FDA CLIA waiver, enabling its use in settings without dedicated phlebotomists, such as rural, low-resource, pediatric, and urgent/primary care facilities. The project will run from September 15, 2023, to September 14, 2024.
