UpFront Diagnostics secures CE mark for LVOne rapid blood test for stroke
UpFront Diagnostics has secured CE mark approval for LVOne, a rapid blood test designed to identify large-vessel-occlusion stroke in pre-hospital settings.
LVOne is intended to support faster triage of suspected stroke patients by identifying biomarkers associated with large-vessel occlusion from a blood sample before hospital arrival.
The CE mark enables European commercialisation and could support more rapid routing of eligible patients to specialist stroke centres for thrombectomy assessment.
