Sepsis patients’ mortality increases by 8% with every hour.

What is Sepsis?

Sepsis arises when the body‘s response to an infection injures its own tissues and organs. It may lead to shock, multi-organ failure, and death – especially if not recognized early and treated promptly. 

2 hrs 40 mins

Common sepsis detection procedures rely upon invasive blood draws, typically administered after admission in the ER. Average ER wait time in the US is 2 hours 40 minutes.7 With every hour of delay, sepsis patients’ mortality increases by 8%.

# 1 in Healthcare Costs

Sepsis is a leading cost of hospitalization in the U.S. incurring an estimated $62 billion in annual healthcare costs (US)3

Cause for readmission

Sepsis is a leading cause of readmission to the hospital, costing more than $3.5 billion each year.5

30% Mortality

Studies on sepsis survival and deaths suggest that on average, approximately 30% of patients diagnosed with severe sepsis do not survive. Up to 50% of survivors suffer from post-sepsis syndrome. Until a cure is found, early detection and treatment is essential for survival and limiting disability for survivors.6

The need is clear, and there’s no time to lose.
